Answer:

any litter on the ground can be swept up into the runoff. dirty ground water also commonly affects runoff since there are so many chemicals in the ground. farmers especially need to be cautious because teir fertilizers can leak into the ground.

Answer:

Water is polluted by runoff through the action of erosion: removal of surface material from Earth's crust, primarily soil and rock debris from the environment of which the water flows through.

Explanation:

When rain falls onto the earth, it just doesn't sit there, it starts moving according to the laws of gravity. A portion of the precipitation seeps into the ground to replenish Earth's groundwater. Most of it flows downhill as runoff. Runoff is extremely important in that not only does it keep rivers and lakes full of water, but it also changes the landscape by the action of erosion. Flowing water has tremendous power—it can move boulders and carve out canyons; check out the Grand Canyon!

Runoff of course occurs during storms, and much more water flows in rivers (and as runoff) during storms. For example, in 2001 during a major storm at Peachtree Creek in Atlanta, Georgia, the amount of water that flowed in the river in one day was 7 percent of all the streamflow for the year.

Examples

1. That part of the precipitation, snow melt, or irrigation water that appears in uncontrolled (not regulated by a dam upstream) surface streams, rivers, drains or sewers. Runoff may be classified according to speed of appearance after rainfall or melting snow as direct runoff or base runoff, and according to source as surface runoff, storm interflow, or groundwater runoff.

2. The sum of total discharges described in (1), above, during a specified period of time.

3. The depth to which a watershed (drainage area) would be covered if all of the runoff for a given period of time were uniformly distributed over it.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Al- [Ne] 3s²3p¹

As- [Ar] 4s²3d¹⁰ 4p³

Explanation:

  • Electron configuration of an element shows the arrangement of electrons in the energy levels or orbitals in the atom.
  • Noble-gas configuration involves use of noble gases to write the configuration of other elements.
  • This is done by identifying the atomic number of the element and then identifying the noble gas that comes before that particular element on the periodic table.
  • For example:
  1. Aluminium: The atomic number of Al is 13. The noble gas before Aluminium is Neon which has 10 electrons. Therefore the remaining 3 electrons fills up the 3s and 3p sub orbitals.
  • Thus, the noble-gas configuration of Al is [Ne] 3s²3p¹

     2.  Arsenic, Atomic number is 33

  • Noble gas before Arsenic is Ar,. Argon has 17 electrons, then the remaining electrons fills up the 4s, 3d and 4p sub-orbitals.
  • Thus, the noble-gas configuration of As is [Ar] 4s²3d¹⁰ 4p³
