That depends a lot on the nature of the land and topopgraphy.
Some water runs off into streams.
Some is absorbed into the topsoil then taken up by plants.
Some sinks into an aquifer (possibly a cave in karst landscape) and rises from springs at lower altitudes.
Some if simply re-evaporates.
If the precipitation is snow on a mountain it may feed a glacier, though in time is released as melt-water feeding a river.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to water that falls as precipitation and does not runoff and flow into streams?
It gets absorbed into the Earth.
What happens to the levels of the oceans in the water cycle?
During the evaporation stage, the level of water cycle falls. But after precipitation it rises once again.
What is water called when it falls to the ground?
When water falls to the ground, it is called precipitation, which can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Where does most of the water that falls to the Earth as precipitation originate?
Most of the water that falls as precipitation originates from the evaporation of water from Earth's surface, primarily from oceans, lakes, and rivers. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, and eventually falls back to the Earth as precipitation.
When precipitation falls to earth the water runs into the rivers so the rivers can return it to what?
when precipitation falls it goes into any type of body of water and then the water cycle starts over again and the water evaporates into water vapor. when precipitation falls it goes into any type of body of water and then the water cycle starts over again and the water evaporates into water vapor. when precipitation falls it goes into any type of body of water and then the water cycle starts over again and the water evaporates into water vapor.
Water falls to the land and oceans during?
Precipitation
When there is too much water in a thunderstorm cloud it falls as?
It falls as precipitation, such as rain, or hail.
What is the process by which water falls from clouds?
The process by which water falls from clouds is called precipitation. It occurs when water droplets in the clouds combine and grow large enough to fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, depending on the atmospheric conditions.
What is it called when liquid water falls from the atmosphere?
When liquid water falls from the atmosphere, it is called rain.
What stage of the water cycle occurs when water falls back to earth?
Precipitation.
What is the result of the water cycle?
Precipitation is the result of water cycle.Water falls as rain.
What describes all of the precipitation that falls to the surface?
Fresh water
