surface runoff (also known as overland flow or terrestrial runoff) is the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface, in contrast to channel runoff (or stream flow)
What else can I help you with?
Is there more air or water on Earth?
There is more water on Earth than air. Water covers about 71 of the Earth's surface, while the atmosphere, which contains air, extends only a few hundred kilometers above the surface.
When does ground water become surface water?
Groundwater becomes surface water when it emerges from the ground and flows above the Earth's surface, such as in streams, rivers, lakes, or wetlands. This can occur through natural processes like springs or seeps, or through human activities such as pumping from wells.
What is the most important agent sculpting earths land surface?
Water is the most important agent sculpting Earth's land surface. Processes like erosion, weathering, and deposition caused by water in the form of rivers, glaciers, and oceans play a significant role in shaping the Earth's topography over time.
What occupies about one-third of the surface of the earth?
the ocean - the pasific ocean takes up a third i think
What is water that does not soak into the ground water or evaporate but instead flows across earth's surface?
That is known as surface water. It can flow through rivers, streams, lakes, or other bodies of water above the ground.
What is the effect of running water to earth's surface?
Erosion
How does running water causes erosion on the earth surface?
It tears earth from the ground and carries it which ever way water flows
What is the major agent of Earth's surface?
The major agent of erosion on earthes surface is water running downhill
Which agent contributes most to the general weathering down of earth's surface?
running water
Is there more air or water on Earth?
There is more water on Earth than air. Water covers about 71 of the Earth's surface, while the atmosphere, which contains air, extends only a few hundred kilometers above the surface.
The most important erosional agent on earth is?
The major agent of erosion on earthes surface is water running downhill
What are formed when water vapor cools and condenses high above the earth's surface?
clouds
What is the layer above the Earth's surface?
the layer above the earth is the troposphere
What is Earth's environment like in the Devonian Period?
The Earth's surface was covered mostly with water. There was a very small part of land that was dry and above water.
What prevent us from running out of water?
The Earth's surface is 3/4 water. All we need to do is not pollute the water and there will be plenty for all of us.
Visible masses if tiny water droplets above Earth's surface?
The tiny water droplets in the sky form clouds.
What part of the earth's surface is water?
3/4 of the earth's surface is water.
