Runoff pollution: Water from rain (also called stormwater, urban runoff, and storm drain pollution), irrigation, garden hoses or other activities that picks up pollutants (cigarette butts, trash, automotive fluids, used oil, paint, fertilizers and pesticides, lawn and garden clippings and pet waste) from streets, parking lots, driveways and yards and carries them through the storm drain system and straight to the ocean.
What else can I help you with?
What can you compare pollution or runoff to?
runoff is when water come from rain take all type of trash and pollution is something polluted
The eroded materials carried by water or wind are called?
Sediment
Why do soft shell clams live in mud?
Soft shell clams live in mud because it provides protection from predators, helps regulate their body temperature, and offers access to nutrients and food sources buried in the sediment. The mud also allows them to easily burrow and hide, reducing their exposure to the elements and other threats in their environment.
How does a cast fossil form?
When the animal dies its skeleton settles on the sea floor and is buried by sediment. that thickens and begins to turn to stone. The skeleton dissolves and a mold is formed. Minerals crystallize inside the mold and the cast is formed.
What are remains of plants and animals that were buried very quickly in sediment during floods?
fossils
How are Sediment the same as runoff?
Sediment and runoff are both components of erosion. Sediment refers to the particles of soil and rock that are eroded and transported by water, while runoff is the flow of water over land that can carry sediment and other pollutants. Both sediment and runoff can have detrimental effects on water quality and ecosystems.
One of the main sources of sediment in flowing water?
runoff
What causes most sediment to wash or runoff into a river?
Rain.
Does runoff have mass movement?
Runoff refers to the movement of water over the Earth's surface, carrying sediment and other materials with it. While runoff itself does not involve mass movement, it can contribute to processes like erosion and sediment transport, which are forms of mass movement.
The main ways sediment enters a river are mass movement and?
Runoff
What are two sources of the sediment carried by rivers?
Mass movement and runoff.
Why is sediment deposited in coastal areas?
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
What is the process in which a stream is made?
First the water will rain down, causing runoff, and the runoff water will carry dirt and sediment with it, causing a stream to form overtime as the runoff trail keeps on indenting into the ground.
How does a river collect sediments?
Most sediment washes or falls into the river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river
What becomes of the runoff in the diagram?
The runoff in the diagram typically flows into bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, or oceans. This runoff can carry pollutants from the land, including chemicals, fertilizers, and sediment, which can impact water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Efforts to manage and reduce runoff are important for protecting water resources.
In what ways can sediment enter a river?
Sediment can enter a river through erosion of the riverbanks, from runoff carrying sediment from surrounding land, through landslides or mudflows, and from human activities such as construction and mining.
What is it called when rain rolls into a stream?
When rain runoff travels over the surface of the land and enters a stream, it is called surface runoff. This water can carry pollutants and sediment into the stream, affecting water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
