GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: WATER THAT FLOWS IN THE STREAMS AND THE RIVERS AND INTO THE OCEANS AND LAKES IS CALLED THE WATER CYCLE.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water Cycle Components Infiltration is precipitation that soaks into the soil. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Surface runoff (also known as overland flow) is the flow of water occurring on the ground surface when excess rainwater, stormwater, meltwater, or other sources, can no longer sufficiently rapidly infiltrate in the soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ocean currents are great streams of water flowing both near the ocean’s surface and far below it. Prevailing winds (air currents) that blow over parts of the ocean push the water along, creating surface currents.
