Water flow over land is influenced by several factors, including topography, soil type, vegetation, and land use. Steeper slopes typically lead to faster water flow, while flatter areas may result in slower movement and increased infiltration. Soil composition affects how much water can be absorbed or retained, while vegetation can slow down runoff and promote water retention. Additionally, human activities, such as urbanization and agriculture, can alter natural drainage patterns, impacting water flow dynamics.
What else can I help you with?
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...
When cool dense air from over the water flows inland it's called a?
When cool, dense air from over the water flows inland, it is called a sea breeze. Sea breezes occur during the day when the land heats up faster than the water, causing the air over the water to be cooler and denser, creating a wind flow towards the land.
What type of water flows in a thin layer over the land causing sheet erosion?
Ice sheet glacier.
When water flows in a thin layer over land this is?
known as sheet flow. This type of water movement occurs when rainwater or snowmelt spreads out and flows evenly over the surface. Sheet flow helps distribute water across the land, promoting infiltration and reducing erosion.
What forms when water suddenly flows over land that is usually dry?
Flash flooding occurs when water suddenly flows over land that is usually dry, typically due to heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt. This sudden overflow of water can be dangerous and damaging, causing property damage and posing risks to human life.
What is water that flows over the land rather than infiltrating into the ground is referred to as?
It is called runoff
