Which of the following will carry topsoil, nutrients, and other substances as it flows downhill?
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Runoff is what occurs when rain is not absorbed by the ground as it falls. It then begins to flow downhill. As it does, it will carry topsoil, nutrients, and any other substances downhill. Eventually runoff water will drain into a stream, river, or ocean. When the water flows into a specific river or stream, it is known as that stream’s watershed.
However, ground water results when rain or other precipitation falls back to the Earth and ends up on the land. If it soaks into the Earth, it becomes ground water. The ground water is then used by plants and animals for drinking.
