Describe about different sources of drinking water with their characteristics?
Surface water- Oceans, Lakes, Ponds, Swamps, Rivers, Streams... Groundwater- Aquifers, Caverns...
When does the river water start flowing?
Rivers usually begin as a trickle of water high in hills or mountains. Some come from rainwater or melting snow. Most emerge from underground streams, formed after rain or snow seeps into the ground then bubbles back to the surface. As the water flows downhill, the trickle swells into a stream and then, as side streams called tributaries join it, into a wider river.
What is the Source of earths water under the surface?
To the best of my knowledge, the water under the surface was formed when the oceans were formed, or thereafter. In simple terms, cracks in the ground allows water to leak below ground into large open voids.
An example of evaporation is faster when the exposed surface of water is large?
When the exposed surface of water is larger the evaporation is faster.
What are the source of water?
Oceans, lakes, streams, seas, ponds and reservoirs
What are large streams of surface sea water called?
IT'S called ocean currents or just called currents.
What are large streams of water called?

What is the water that runs off the surface of the land and flows downhill into streams rivers ponds and lakes called?
The water that runs off the surface of the land and flows downhill into streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes is called surface water. This water collects in bodies of water through the process of runoff, which can carry various pollutants and nutrients from the land into water sources.
Where is water found on Earth's surface?
Surface water is found in lakes, streams, ponds, wetlands, and oceans.
What is fresh water?
Fresh Water is naturally occurring water on Earth's surface in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as ground water in aquifers and underground streams.
Do streams and lakes represent the intersection of the water table with the surface in valley bottoms?
Streams and lakes do represent the intersection of the water table with the surface in valley bottoms. The water table is the layer under the earth that contains groundwater.
Where can you find surface water?
streams, river, lake, wetland, ocean
A glacial deposit that is sorted and layered by streams or melt water is called?

In the desert ephemeral streams are?
Ephemeral streams are streams that only have running surface water after a rain storm. During most of the year they are dry gullies or arroyos.
The water that moves across Earth's surface after rainfall?
Streams and rivers - but the local flow across a discrete area, and feeding them, is called Run-off.
Most of Earth's fresh surface water is found in?
Lakes, Streams and Rivers =)
Water in oceans lakes rivers and streams?
moderates changes in temperature on the surface
