Overland flow - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Fluvial processes - Answer-processes that involve running water Three types of fluvial processes - Answer-- Streamflow (channeled water) - Overland flow (unchanneled water) -- Infiltration excess overland flow --- Sheet flow on impermeable pavement -- Saturation excess overland flow --- Soil column is saturated with water and water flows over/on top of it - Groundwater flow Drainage basin/watershed - Answer-the area that contributes overland flow, streamflow, and groundwater to a str...

The water cycle and water insecurity revision notes for A Level Edexcel Geography what is a drainage basin - -a river's drainage basin is the area surrounding it where the rain falling on land flows into that river (river's catchment) -the boundary of the drainage basin is called the watershed -open (with inputs and outputs), the total amount of water changes over time -local hydrological systems what is a large drainage basin - -steep sides (ability to move precipitation into the ...

Hydrological cycle correct answers System of stores and flows of the water in ecosystem driven by the solar radiation, which can be easily disrupted by human activities Storages correct answers Atmosphere, clouds, organisms, ocean/lake, glacier, groundwater, soil Hydrosphere correct answers All the forms in which the Earth's water can exist Turnover time correct answers Time taken for water to completely replace itself in part of the system, being renewable when replaced yearly or more...

Erosion Process by which the land surface is worn away by the action of wind, water, and gravity Sedimentation Settling out of soil particles transported by wind and water. Water Erosion Classifications Overland and Stream/Channel Four Processes of Overland Erosion Splash/Drop, Sheet, Rill, Gully 3 Physical Effects of Erosion and Sedimentation Increased Flooding Reduced hydraulic capacities in Rivers, Streams, Channels, Reservoirs Increased maintenance of storm...

What is precipitation? - water from Earths atmosphere down the Earths surface in the form of rain, snow, hail and sleet. What is infiltration? - water enters into the soil What is interception? - water is caught by plants/trees What is stem flow? - water lands on plants and run downs their stems What is overland flow? - water flows over land surface What is through flow? - movement of water down through the soil What is transpiration? - water vapor comes out leaves What is e...

What are the input(s) of the soil water budget - ANSWER-Precipitation (p) What are the output(s) of the soil water budget - ANSWER-Evapotranspiration (E) Surplus Runoff (R) - surface overland flow -Groundwater overflow Change in soil storage (∆S) What type of ecosystems have higher runoff? - ANSWER-Ecosystems with a lot of rain(tropical rainforests) because not all the precipitation is taken up by the system. What is Potential Evapotranspiration? What ecosystems have higher potential ...
