"Rain runs down slopes" refers to the gravitational flow of rainwater down inclined surfaces such as hills or mountains. This process is influenced by factors like gravity, surface roughness, and soil composition, and it can contribute to erosion and runoff.

The force that pulls everything downward causeing rain and soil to run down a slope?

Gravity is the force that pulls everything downward, causing rain and soil to run down a slope. This gravitational force is responsible for the movement of water and soil on Earth's surface.


Farmers can plow furrows across a slope rather than up and down which is called what?

Plowing across a slope is called contour plowing. It is a technique that creates furrows that run fairly level across slopes, and this greatly reduces any washing away of soil during rain events. (You can imagine what would happen if it rained on a slope that was plowed up and down.) A link can be found below for more information.


Why did it rain in Cumbria?

The long downpour was caused by a lengthy flow of warm, moist air that came from the Azores in the mid-Atlantic. This kind of airflow is common in the UK in the autumn and the winter, and is known as a 'warm conveyor'. The warmer the air is, the more moisture it can hold. The ground was also already saturated, so the additional rain flowed as surface run-off straight into the rivers. The steep slopes of the Cumbrian Mountains also helped the water to run rapidly into the rivers.


Is it possible to run so fast you could dodge rain drops?

Sure... If you start running soon enough to get inside before the rain hits the ground. No. Running through the rain will only keep your head dryer. However, you will run into more rain drops with your body the faster you go.


What happens to the land when a rain forest is chopped down?

all the animals run away to find a new home to live Nope! The animals don't "run away to find a new home to live" they die. And if the Amazon rain forest is chopped down, we wont have enough natural recources, or oxegyn to live on, and we'll die too! So keep those trees a'livin!
