_______________________1. occurs when precipitation or snowmelt moves across the land surface.

_______________________2. The land area over which rain falls

_______________________3. the tract of land (both surface and subsurface) drained by a river and its tributaries

_______________________4. the land area that contributes surface runoff to any point of interest

_______________________5. occurs when the rate of rainfall or snowmelt is greater than the infiltration capacity.
The water that cannot infiltrate becomes surface runoff.

_______________________6. also known as subsurface stormflow, is relatively rapid flow toward the stream
channel that occurs below the surface.

_______________________7. void spaces in the soil that provide preferential pathways for water to move
downslope.

_______________________8. occurs when the soil layers have become saturated and no further water can infiltrate.

_______________________9. A layer that has low permeability, like rock or clay, and may also serve to focus the
lateral subsurface flow.

_______________________10. The lines separating the land surface into watersheds are called _______.

TRUE OR FALSE

_______________________1. The water that appears in the stream immediately following a rainfall or rapid
snowmelt period may be from pre-event water.

_______________________2. Rain falling on a watershed in quantities exceeding the soil or vegetation uptake
becomes surface runoff.

_______________________3. Macropore networks are more likely in deep-soiled areas with considerable inorganic
materials.

_______________________4. The principal geologic factors that affect surface waters are classified as lithologic and
structural.

_______________________5. Radial Patterns are characterized by long main streams intercepted by numerous
shorter right- angle tributaries

_______________________6. Multi-basin patterns, also called deranged systems,

_______________________7. Structural effects relate mainly to continuities such as faults and folds

_______________________8. The soil characteristics in a basin have very strong influences on the character of the
runoff.

_______________________9. The gradient between the groundwater ridge and the stream channel results in more
rapid interflow to the stream.

_______________________10. A watershed supplies surface runoff to a river or stream, whereas a drainage basin
for a given stream is the tract of land drained of both surface runoff and groundwater discharge
