Spring
Surface water is water that flows or collects on the Earth's surface, including rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands. It plays a vital role in the hydrological cycle by replenishing groundwater, supporting ecosystems, and providing water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use.
runoff
Water that doesn't sink in but runs across the Earth's surface is called surface water. This includes rivers, streams, creeks, and runoff from rain or snowmelt that flows over the ground.
This process is known as surface runoff. Rainwater or melted snow that doesn't infiltrate the soil flows over the land's surface until it reaches water bodies like rivers, lakes, or oceans. Surface runoff can carry pollutants and sediment, affecting water quality and ecosystems.
Runoff
lava
Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.
It could be a spring or artesian well, from which water flows. Or a well in which water seeps rather than flows.
Molton rock that flows from a volcano onto Earths surface is
Lava.
The intersection of the water table with the Earth's surface, from which water flows continuously, is called a spring. Springs occur when groundwater reaches the surface naturally through a point of discharge.
Magma that flows onto Earth's surface is called lava.
Surface water is water that flows or collects on the Earth's surface, including rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands. It plays a vital role in the hydrological cycle by replenishing groundwater, supporting ecosystems, and providing water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use.
Groundwater is water that collects and flows beneath the Earth'surface, filling spaces in soil, sediment and rocks. The upper surface of groundwater is the water table
runoff
Surface water is the water that flows or is stored on the Earth's surface, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds. It includes runoff from precipitation, as well as water from melting snow and ice. Surface water is essential for supporting ecosystems, providing drinking water, and various human activities.
