Question

what causes surface runoff?

b) plants absorb water and then release it to run down hills
c) soil infiltration reached capacity
d) oceans overflow​

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Runoff occurs when there is more water than land can absorb. The excess liquid flows across the surface of the land and into nearby creeks, streams, or ponds. ... Glaciers, snow, and rain all contribute to this natural runoff. Runoff also occurs naturally as soil is eroded and carried to various bodies of water.
