Rainwater that is not absorbed by soil and flows over the surface is called what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Surface runoff

Correct answer: B, surface runoff. After rain falls, some water enters the soil; this downward entry is called infiltration. When the soil cannot absorb all the rain, or when the ground is already saturated, the extra water moves across the land surface. This moving water is called surface runoff. It may collect in small channels, streams, and rivers and eventually reach lakes or oceans. A is infiltration, the process of water entering soil, so it describes the opposite movement. C is groundwater, the water stored below the surface in soil pores and rock cracks. D is transpiration, the release of water vapour from plant leaves. Memory cue: “runoff runs over” the land surface.
