In the water cycle after water is precipitated back to Earth it goes through the runoff stage in which it is collected into larger bodies Which bodies of water does runoff include?

Runoff can include bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, streams, reservoirs, and oceans. It involves the movement of water from higher elevations to lower elevations, eventually reaching these larger bodies of water.


When large masses of magma solidify far below Earths surface they form igneous rocks that have a .?

Coalesced magma bodies are referred to as plutonic rocks, they have a porphyritic texture or larger crystals since elements are allotted more time to segregate to their desired energy environments and precipitate minerals.


Why The tilt of the earths on its axis is Because of the earths?

The tilt of the Earth's axis, approximately 23.5 degrees, is primarily due to the planet's formation and subsequent collisions with other celestial bodies during its early history. This axial tilt influences the distribution of sunlight received by different regions, leading to the seasonal changes we experience. The tilt remains relatively stable over long periods, although it can undergo slight variations due to gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.


What could happen to earths surface if there was a change in the water cycle?

There could be change in the content of water. It will affect the level of water in the water bodies.

What is the main reservoirs for the phosphorus cycle?

The main reservoirs for the phosphorus cycle are rocks, soil, and sediment. Phosphorus is released from these reservoirs through weathering processes and enters the cycle through runoff into water bodies where it is utilized by organisms before returning to the soil or sediment.

Are reservoirs filled up by water rising up from the earth?

Reservoirs are typically filled by surface water sources, such as rivers, streams, and rainfall, rather than water rising up from the earth. While groundwater can contribute to some water bodies, reservoirs primarily rely on inflows from precipitation and runoff. Additionally, some reservoirs may be supplemented by water pumped from underground aquifers, but this is not the same as rising from the earth naturally.


Where is most water srored in water cycle?

Water is stored as underground water, in reservoirs etc. Water is stored in various water bodies.
