GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This is known as surface runoff. Other precipitation seeps into the ground and is stored as groundwater.

Detailed explanation-2: -Surface runoff is precipitation runoff over the landscape. Sources/Usage: Public Domain. Visit Media to see details. Impervious areas cause excessive runoff. In our section about water storage in the oceans we describe how the oceans act as a large storehouse of water that evaporates to become atmospheric moisture.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Groundwater is a part of the natural water cycle (check out our interactive water cycle diagram). Some part of the precipitation that lands on the ground surface infiltrates into the subsurface. The part that continues downward through the soil until it reaches rock material that is saturated is groundwater recharge.

Detailed explanation-5: -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
