What is water flowing over the ground after rainfall generally called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Runoff

Correct answer: A, runoff. When rain reaches the ground, some water enters the soil, some is stored in small depressions, and some moves across the land surface. This moving surface water is called runoff. It may flow into streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, or drainage channels. Runoff is therefore a part of the water cycle and can increase when rainfall is heavy or the ground is already saturated. A is correct because it means water flowing over the land after rainfall. B, snowfall, is precipitation that falls as ice crystals or snow, not surface flow. C, hailstorm, means a storm producing balls or lumps of ice. D, condensation, is the change of water vapour into liquid water; it is not the movement of water across the ground. Memory cue: “runoff runs over the surface.”
