How does clmate effect the amount of runoff?
Warm climates reduce runoff because evaporation increases. cold climates reduce runoff because precipitation is trapped in a form of snow or ice so there is little imediate runoffif traveling occurs slowly there is less runoff but if thawing occurs rapidly runoff can cause a significant problem like flooding nd mudslides
How are aquifers replenishd?
Aquifers are replenished through a process called recharge, where water from precipitation, rivers, or lakes infiltrates the ground and enters the underground reservoir. This water slowly percolates through the soil and rock layers to refill the aquifer. The rate of recharge depends on factors such as land use, climate, and geology.
Groundwater is stored in and moves slowly through permeable rock called aquifers . in what zone is groundwater located?
Groundwater that is not otherwise fossil groundwater forms part of the "water table".
In what direction is California moving?
California is slowly moving south, toward the Gulf of Mexico.
What is the difference of runoff and erosion?
Runoff is water that fell from the clouds onto the earth, then is either sliding down the earth or through the earth back down to the ocean. Erosion is the ocean waters washing up on the shore, slowly breaking down and separating the rocks and earth.
How water collects underground?
Water collects underground by slowly seeping through the ground until it reaches hollows of the earth where it can collect. These are often called aquifers and are major sources of water for cities.
Why could the Ogalla aquifer not be replenished by watering its recharge zone?
First off, its spelled OGALLALA, which is in Nebraska................We use aquifers as a good source of water, and because we need that water, it's used too quickly. Ground water moves slowly, and as you know, it aquifers are a good source of ground water. Some think that it may take 1,000 years in the future to replenish.
Why is surface runoff not absorbed by soil with a high clay content?
This is because clay slowly absorbs water. It may take a few minutes+, but eventually it does happen. Since rain falls rather quickly, there is not much time for the clay to absorb the water floing on the ground, therefore there would be more runoff in places where the soil has a high clay content.

How does the Falllout 3 VATS system work?
The VATS system works by stopping time and allowing you to choose certain body parts of an enemy that you want to hit. You can choose what body parts to aim for. Though there is a meter that slowly replenishes and will run out if you choose a certain amount of hits.
Why did the Baja California earthquake happen for?
Because both Californias (California, as well as Baja California) are slowly breaking up from the continent. The result of such break up is the Gulf of California, the Death Valley in California as well as the San Francisco bay area. This is called Plate Tectonics, where the earth's crust is constantly moving.Some million years from now, both Californias will be an island, slowly drifting away towards the Pacific Ocean.
Is a person a nonrenewable resource?
Well, people aren't "resources", per say. By definition, a non-renewable resource is one that either never or slowly (taking millions or billion of years to do so) replenishes itself. People "replenish" (reproduce) quickly. Also, humans are biodegradeable, for the most part.
