surface runoff replenishes surface water sources and also helps us calculate how much we can harvest for future use for example in valley dams. as for infiltration, it also replenishes surface water sources through subsurface flow and also replenish ground water sources(aquifers) as well through the process of percolation.

What is the most important cause of surface currents?
Wind over large expanses of water.
The single most important agent sculpting earths land surface is?
It is running water
What is the most important agent sculpting earths land surface?
Running/ moving water or oceans. Any kind of water.
What is water that flows over earth's surface?
Water that flows over Earth's surface is called runoff. Runoff is an important agent of erosion, especially if the water is moving fast. The more speed water has, the more material it can carry with it.
How is the movement of water on earth's surface through ground water zones and watersheds important to human activity?
Humans like to drink water. They keep nearby it.
What are important parts of the Earth surface?
WATER
What attraction is important to water striders?
Surface tension is important to water striders because surface tension gives them the ability to float and not sink and drown.
What part of the earths surface is covered with water why is that so important?
Earth's surface is covered by 71% water and it's so important because our bodies are 65-75 % water, and we can survive without it nothing can.
Is surface water important?
Surface water is vitally important to our everyday life. Its main uses include drinking-water and other public uses, irrigation uses, and use by the thermoelectric-power industry to cool electricity-generating equipment.
How does the water cycle effect human lifestyle?
Water cycle brings water to earth's surface. it is important for human's survival.
What does evaporation of surface water depend on?
The most important factors are temperature and pressure.
Why is water surface tension important for organisms?
surface tension divides the bad germs around the surface of the water
Why was the snorkel important?
It allows you to breath comfortably on the surface. Raising your head out of the water is quickly tiring during a long surface swim.
Which process plays an important role in bringing water back to the surface of the earth?
Precipitation
What is the most important cause of surface currents?
Wind over large expanses of water.
The single most important agent sculpting earths land surface is?
It is running water
What causes water to evaporate and why is evaporation important in the water cycle?
Increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules located at the water surface favors evaporation.
