We typically think of surface water as primarily existing in lakes and rivers.
Moving surface water would primarily be in the form of rivers and streams.
Subsurface water moves as well, though slowly, in many aquifers. Indeed, even a glacier moves water in its solid form.
There is, of course, turnover of water in any lake or swamp that has an outlet, so that water moves in a technical sense, though the characterization of moving water would typically be reserved for water moving fast enough to be noticeable. There does not seem to be a scientific criterion for how fast water needs to move to be considered "moving" in the macroscopic sense.

How the way in which wind and moving water reshape earths surface?
Wind and moving water reshape the Earth's surface through the process of erosion.
When does ground water become surface water?
When the ground water flow out of the earth surface as a form of spring.
What erosional agent accounts for most of the erosion on Earth's surface?
Moving water is the main erosional agent on the surface of the Earth.
What type of water is most likely to float on the surface of the ocean?
Ice is a form of water that will float on the surface of the ocean.
What is the term for the wearing away of the earth's surface by wind glaciers and moving water?
Erosion.
What does the water keep moving on the surface and into the earth mean?
Being in the liquid form water keeps on moving on the surface and into the earth due to gravitation force of the Earth.
Water moving along the ground's surface?
Water moving along the grounds surface is called a river or a flood.. A river or a flood both contain moving water. River water is consistently moving. A flood will have water moving until it goes away.
Is a swamp moving surface water?
No it’s standing surface water
How the way in which wind and moving water reshape earths surface?
Wind and moving water reshape the Earth's surface through the process of erosion.
A spring is an example of?
moving surface water
what- A spring is an example of which of these?
moving surface water
Do the fastest or slowest moving molecules break away from the surface of liquid water to form water vapor?
The fastest moving water molecules will break away from the surfrace of the water to form water vapor, they have the energy to overcome the attractive forces between molecules.
How can moving water change the earthe surface?
by wearing away small pieces of land and carrying them to new places
How does moving water form waves in water?
As it slides over the water surface film, air makes it move. As the water moves, it forms eddies and small ripples. Then waves are formed from these ripples
How does wind moving the surface of water affect it?
it causes the water to move with it
What is a spring an example of?
It is an example of "moving surface water."
What is an example of spring?
It is an example of "moving surface water."
