What is surface flow?
Surface flow is when water from the rain runs on the surface into the ocean.
Does the surface of mars have long channels from water flow?
They believe that it is from water flow.
When does surface water become ground water?
When the ground water flow out of the earth surface as a form of spring.
What is a natural flow of water from underground?
A natural flow of water from underground is called a spring. Springs occur where an aquifer is filled to the point that the water overflows onto the land surface. This flow of water can create streams or rivers.
What are some ways that water can flow over Earth's surface?
Runoff
When surface water does not flow to the ocean it will often collect in?
Surface water will collect in hollows, ditches, reservoirs, add to the water table, etc.
Where does surface water travel?
Surface water flows downhill or seeps into the ground becoming groundwater. The natural flow of surface water is downhill or seaward. See the related link for more information.
What is surface runoff?
water flow which occurs during or after rain, when soil is infiltrated to full capacity and excess water.
What is sheet flow?
Sheet flow is the flow of water across a surface in a thin layer, like a sheet. It typically occurs in areas with low slope, such as flat ground or gently sloping terrain. Sheet flow is an important process in the movement of water over the land surface and can contribute to erosion and sediment transport.
What is Coanda effect?
The Coanda effect occurs due to the presence of a curved surface immersed in a flowing fluid when the surface curves away from the flow. The flow 1) causes a lowered pressure at the surface and 2) entrains fluid to flow towards the surface. The effect can be seen as smoke streams in a wind tunnel follow the shape of, e.g. a streamlined automobile. Another example is a water flow adhering to the back of a spoon. This is caused primarily by the Van der Waals (surface tension) forces between the water and the surface of the spoon.
What is a steep fall or flow of water from a high place on the earth's surface to a lower one?
A waterfall is a steep fall or flow of water from a high place on the earth's surface to a lower one. It occurs when a river or stream flows over a vertical drop or a series of drops in the terrain.
Where does all surface or ground water eventually flow?
Surface and groundwater ultimately flow towards the lowest elevation in the area, usually to larger bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, or oceans. This movement is driven by gravity and the natural topography of the land.
