Detailed explanation-1: -Runoff occurs when there is more water than land can absorb. The excess liquid flows across the surface of the land and into nearby creeks, streams, or ponds. Runoff can come from both natural processes and human activity. The most familiar type of natural runoff is snowmelt.
Detailed explanation-2: -Runoff is precipitation that does not soak into the soil but instead moves on the Earth’s surface toward streams. Streamflow is water moving across the Earth’s surface in streams. Evaporation refers to water that changes from a liquid to a gas and moves from the Earth’s surface back into the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-3: -The water cycle on Earth It is a complex system that includes many different processes. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).
Detailed explanation-4: -surface runoff (water flows above the ground’s surface), interflow runoff (water flows underground just below the land’s surface), and. base flow runoff (water flows deep within the ground’s saturated zone). 26-Aug-2021
