If the surface soil is saturated and precipitation increases what would it be?

If surface soil is already saturated and precipitation increases, there is a higher likelihood of runoff and potential flooding. This excess water cannot infiltrate into the ground and may instead flow over the surface, leading to waterlogging and possibly soil erosion.


How are groundwater and runoff different and alike?

Well, groundwater and runoff both land on Earth as precipitation, but groundwater is water that gets trapped underground by seeping through rocks. You capture this water by wells. Runoff is when precipitation flows from (usually) mountains. The water gets into streams, and streams join to form rivers. The rivers would usually lead to the ocean. Most of the runoff gets evaporated when the water reaches the ocean; only a little-bit of the water in rivers and streams flowing down is evaporated then.


What would a forecaster find most helpful to determine the climate of one area?

A forecaster would find historical climate data, such as temperature and precipitation patterns, satellite images, and atmospheric conditions most helpful in determining the climate of an area. These factors can help predict weather patterns and trends in that specific region.


What type of precipitation would fall at 27 degrees Fahrenheit?

At 27 degrees Fahrenheit, the precipitation would likely fall as snow.


Which of the following is information you would not find in a station model precipitation cloud coverfrontwind speed?

You would not find front information on a station model because fronts are depicted on weather maps rather than within individual station models. The other three pieces of information - precipitation, cloud cover, and wind speed - are commonly included in station models to provide a snapshot of current weather conditions at a specific location.

Water from precipitation that flows across land and collects in rivers and streams?

I believe that would be called RUNOFF water.


What air conditions would least likely to have precipitation?

Cold dry air


What is the expense in a water budget if the income is precipitation?

Water evaporation, use, and runoff are all "expenses" that reduce the balance of water available. They may be fixed expenses or variable expenses that can be controlled to various degrees.


What refers to to water that flows over earths surface?

If you are talking about land above sea , then it would be called run off, because when precipitation falls , whether it is rain or snow , at some point it usually makes its way from the land to the sea via flowing over the surface of the earth.


How could the amount of precipitation affect the of oranisms living in an environment?

the precipitation can over load the environment with water and the soil would be to wet to produce crops

Can a tornado occur in 20 percent precipitation?

If you mean a twenty percent chance of precipitation, yes. In some cases a system will produce isolated supercell thunderstorms which have the potential to produce tornadoes. While most places would not see any rain from these storms, there would be the potential for tornadoes.

How does warming of the ocean effect the water cycle?

The warming of the oceans may cause an increase in the amount of evaporation. This would lead to an increased amount of precipitation that would cause and increase of runoff due to the ground becoming saturated by the rain water.

How would you describe a nimbus cloud?

A nimbus cloud is a type of cloud characterized by its dark, dense appearance and ability to produce precipitation. These clouds are often associated with rain showers, thunderstorms, and other severe weather conditions.


How would you use the word runoff in a sentence?

The runoff from the roof filled the rain barrel. The runoff from the strip mine killed the fish in the stream.
