What does rain that falls to the surface that can form runoff which called?

Rain that falls to the surface and forms runoff is known as surface runoff. Surface runoff occurs when the soil is saturated and cannot absorb any more water, leading to water flowing over the ground and eventually collecting in bodies of water like rivers and lakes.


How does runoff distributed?

Runoff is distributed through surface flow, infiltration into the ground, and evaporation. When water falls onto the surface, it can either flow overland into streams and rivers, infiltrate into the ground to replenish groundwater, or evaporate back into the atmosphere. The distribution of runoff depends on factors such as topography, soil type, land use, and precipitation intensity.


What are three things that can happen to the precipitation that falls to the Earth?

It can puddle, get absorbed into the earth as groundwater, get used by plants, or runoff.


Precipitation that falls on land and then flows into rivers and lakes?

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.


What are the three things that can happen to rain that falls on the land?

Rain that falls on land can either be absorbed by the soil and taken up by plants (infiltration), flow along the surface into bodies of water like streams and rivers (runoff), or evaporate back into the atmosphere.

What is a channel in bowling terms?

In bowling terms, a channel (also called a gutter) is the narrow, depressed area that runs along both sides of the bowling lane. If a ball falls into the channel, it is considered a gutter ball, and no pins are knocked down for that roll A channel is the groove on either side of a bowling lane where the ball falls if it veers off course, resulting in no score for that roll Ask ChatGPT

How does runoff help the environment?

Runoff is a part of the water cycle. Surface runoff helps the environment by recycling water into the ocean that it may begin the cycle again. However, lately we have been getting acidic rain due to poisons, pesticides, and fertilizers. The runoff takes these pollutants and carries them to the ocean where it kills fish and causes mass reproduction of algae. It is then evaporated into the clouds where it eventually falls back to the earth harming many species of plants and animals.

Approximately 38% of global precipitation that falls on land becomes runoff, eventually flowing into streams, rivers, and lakes. The remaining percentage is absorbed by the soil, evaporates, or is taken up by vegetation.
