RUNOFF: MOVING AROUND ON LAND

Water that falls on land always flows from high places to lower ones. This flow is called runoff. Precipitation that falls on land runs downhill. The water cuts channels as it flows.
Some water seeps into the ground. It fills cracks between rocks. Underground water also flows from places that are full to places that have less water.
Water from land flows into streams. Streams flow down mountains. Streams join together to make rivers and eventually the water flows into storage in the ocean. Then the water cycle starts all over again.
