Geography
Flashcards created about the water cycle for a level geography

Sample Data

Back - the movement of water from the ground surface to the soil- water trapped on ground surface (due to impermeable surface) will be stored as surface storage, will evaporate or start to flow downslope as overland flow- rapid transfer of water overland is a major factor leading to flooding
