What is rainwater that has not evaporated or soaked into the ground and flows over earth's surface into rivers streams and oceans?
Rainwater that has not evaporated or soaked into the ground is known as surface runoff. This water flows over the Earth's surface, eventually making its way into rivers, streams, and oceans. Surface runoff is an important component of the water cycle, as it helps transport nutrients and sediments, but it can also lead to erosion and water pollution if not managed properly.

What happens to rainwater where it reaches the earths surface?
When rainwater reaches the Earth's surface, it can either infiltrate the ground and replenish groundwater reserves, flow over the surface as runoff into rivers and streams, or get absorbed by vegetation for use in photosynthesis and growth. The way rainwater behaves depends on factors like soil type, slope of the land, and the amount of rainfall.
Which earth material covering earths surface of a ladfill would permit the least rainwater to infiltrate the surface?
Clay
What are all the meanings for percipetation?
When moisture that has evaporated from the earths surface and then falls back as rain
What source of most water evaporates from earths surface?
Water is evaporated from oceans, seas, lakes, rivers.
How much of the earths fresh water is found in surface water like rivers streams and lake?
0.3%
How much of earths fresh water is found in surface water like rivers streams and lakes?
0.3%
Does gravity cause groundwater to move through connecting pores of earths surface?
Water will always find its own level. So gravity will cause rainwater to sink into the ground if the surface is porous enough. Water will run off into streams and rivers, more so if the soil is waterlogged already, or if the composition is clay-like.
Does the water cycle use up earths water supply?
Yes water cycle use up earths supply. Water is evaporated from earth's surface.
What is earths greatest sources of evaporated water?
Oceans are the greatest sources.
Where is the earths fresh water found?
Earth's fresh water is primarily found in glaciers and ice caps (68.7%), as well as in underground aquifers (30.1%) and surface water bodies such as lakes, rivers, and streams (1.2%). Only a small fraction of Earth's water is readily accessible for human use.
What is water that doesn't sink in but runs across earths surface?
Water that doesn't sink in but runs across the Earth's surface is called surface water. This includes rivers, streams, creeks, and runoff from rain or snowmelt that flows over the ground.
Pollutants in rivers and streams can move in Earths oceans?
True
