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.

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

None of carbonyl group is attached to hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

Ketone is a group in which one carbonyl group is attached to two R ( the alkyl group) .

And the group in which two hydrogen is attached to R is called as aldehyde (formaldehyde).

And when one hydrogen and one alkyl group is attached to R. It is called as acetaldehyde from aldehyde family.

What is the theoretical yield of cyclohexene (in grams) that could be formed from 0.105 moles of cyclohexanol and 0.0444 moles o
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

3.65 g of cyclohexene

Explanation:

Cyclohexanol + phosphoric acid ----> cyclohexene

The reaction is 1:1 hence the limiting reactant is phosphoric acid.

Hence,

1 mole of phosphoric acid yields 1 mole of cyclohexene

0.0444 moles of phosphoric acid yields 0.0444 moles of cyclohexene

Theoretical yield = number of moles of cyclohexene × molar mass of cyclohexene

Theoretical yield = 0.0444 moles of cyclohexene × 82.143 g/mol

Theoretical yield = 3.65 g of cyclohexene

HELPPP<br> What do you think caused this land formation ?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Erosion/Weathering

Explanation:

Because the rock is exposed to the ocean, the constant push and pull of the water against the rock erodes the material away and moves it elsewhere. The wind likely aided in this process as well. This caused the big gap in the center of the rock.
