What is the difference between speed over ground and speed over water?

Air speed is the speed through the air (surprise!) and the air is often moving, you can have a strong tailwind or headwind so that will affect your speed over the ground (groundspeed). The speed through the air might be 500mph, and the groundspeed either 550mph or 450mph, if the wind is at 50mph.

What is the difference between the ground reference speed and water reference speed?
Ground reference speed is the speed of an aircraft with reference to the ground. Ground reference can also be used in watercraft by using the seabed. Watercraft can also use water reference speed, which is water flowing past the hull. The difference is that one uses the ground and the other uses the water to reference speed.

What are the Difference between bore well water and corporation water?

What is the Difference between the surface and subsurface?
The difference between surface run-off and subsurface run -off is that surface run-off is that when it is precipitation the water goes on the ground like a river and lake. The water that goes on the top of the ground is going to the oceans. The subsurface run-off is that when it is preciptation the water
What is the difference between a stream and a spring?
A stream is water runing along the ground through a trench in a down hill direction. A spring is water coming from under the ground to the surface.
What is the difference between a spring a?
spring is water in motion, that is recharged by ground water.it is fed by only any one kind of ground water flow i.e local, intermediate or regional. lake is stagnant water recharged by the ground water where three types of ground water flow meet.
What is the difference between runoffs and sheet erosion?
Sheet erosion is a type of surface water, and runoff is any water that does not soak into the ground.
What is the difference between soil water and groundwater?
Ground water is the water present in the saturated zone of the subsurface. Soil water is the water present in the unsaturated zone of the subsurface.
