What is the name given to movement of water over land?
The movement of water over land is called runoff. Runoff occurs when water from precipitation flows over the surface of the land, eventually making its way into bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.
What kind of erosion occurs when water flowing as a sheet caries away sediment?
Sheet erosion occurs when a thin sheet of water flows over the land surface, carrying sediment with it. This type of erosion can remove the top layer of soil uniformly across a large area, leading to decreased soil fertility and nutrient loss. It is common in areas with high rainfall or where the land is sloped.
How did the ozone layer move animals to land from water?
The depletion of the ozone layer led to increased levels of ultraviolet radiation reaching Earth's surface, which harmed marine life. This pushed some animals to adapt and move to land where they could escape the harmful effects of UV radiation. Over time, these animals evolved and diversified into different terrestrial species.
How are coulees formed?
Coulees are generally formed by the erosional activity of water, such as from rivers or glaciers. As water flows over the land, it carves out the soft rock or sediment, creating a dry ravine or gulch over time. Coulees are common in areas with a history of significant water flow and erosion.
Are thunderstorms more likely to form over land or over water?
Land.
What type of water flows in a thin layer over the land causing sheet erosion?
Ice sheet glacier.
When runoff from rainfall flows in a thin layer over the land it is called .?
sheet erosion
Water erosion begins when runoff from rainfall flows in a thin layer over the land in a kind of erosion called?
Sheet erosion
What flows in a thin layer over the land that causes sheet erosion?
Water flowing from rainfall or snowmelt is a common cause of sheet erosion, where a thin layer of water moves over the land surface, carrying soil particles with it. This process can occur on slopes and flat areas, gradually wearing away the topsoil and leading to land degradation.
What kind of erosion begins when runoff rainfall flows in a thin layer over the land?
Soil erosion.
What happens when a stream of water flows over?
It could become a waterfall. Or if it just flows over onto more land then it becomes a river, not a stream.
Water erosion begins rainfall flows over the land carrying sediment with it. This type of erosion is known as?
Water erosion begins when rainfall flows over the land carrying sediment with it. This type of erosion is known as sheet erosion.
What water from precipitation that flows over the land surface but is not absorbed is called?
The water from precipitaion that flows over the land surface but is not abosrbed is called runoff. The definition of runoff is the portion of precipitation on an area which does not infiltrate, but is instead discharged from the area.
What is the name for a body of water that flows in a channel of water over land?
It could probably be a canal or a stream.
What is the name given to movement of water over land?
The movement of water over land is called runoff. Runoff occurs when water from precipitation flows over the surface of the land, eventually making its way into bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.
What is a example of runoff?
A non example of runoff is groundwater because groundwater, the water flows under the ground and as for runoff the water flows over the land's surface
What is a narrow channel of water which flows over land and empties into another body of water?
A river or a stream fits this decription...
