What is the process of evaporation through plant leaves 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.
Water
Rivers typically start at higher elevations because gravity causes water to flow downhill. Rainfall or snowmelt at the top of a hill or mountain collects and forms small streams that join together to create a river. This continuous flow downhill allows rivers to carve out paths over time.
Valley
Rainwater will flow downhill, following the natural slope of the land. It will collect in rivers, streams, ponds, or lakes, eventually making its way to the ocean. Along the way, it may also be absorbed into the ground, recharging groundwater reserves.
Rivers and streams can create various landforms including valleys, canyons, meanders, deltas, floodplains, and alluvial fans. These landforms are shaped by erosion, deposition, and the movement of water over time.
The final destination for runoff that flows on the surface of continents is typically the ocean. Runoff collects in rivers, streams, and other water bodies, eventually making its way to the ocean where it contributes to the global water cycle.
Streams and rivers are the result of rain falling to the ground. The water runs downhill and flows towards the sea.
water that flows downhill and into rivers and lakes is
Erosion
They are called naiads.
Yes. Gravity is essential to shaping Earth's surface. Masses of rock and soil periodically fall, roll, and slide down from hills, mountains, and cliffs. Rain and snow fall on the surface, causing erosion and forming streams and rivers that flow downhill. Glaciers flow downhill, carving into solid rock. All of these processes are driven by gravity.
Erosion changes the surface by creating rivers, streams and valleys.
All streams including rivers run downhill, so melting snow, rain, etc. produce water and this water drains into rivers and the rivers run downhill until they empty into a larger river or a major body of water like a gulf or ocean.
Lakes, Streams and Rivers =)
moderates changes in temperature on the surface
water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams
Rivers and streams that flow in to a larger river are called tributaries. They all form in the same spot.
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.
