How does water move through and on top of earth's rock and soil layers?

Water can move through Earth's rock and soil layers through a process called infiltration, where it percolates downward due to gravity. It can also move laterally through rock and soil layers via a process called percolation or through fractures and pore spaces in the materials. On the surface, water can flow over the ground as runoff, either flowing into bodies of water or infiltrating back into the ground.
