10 Questions
What is the difference between prompt interflow and delayed interflow?
Prompt interflow has the least lag time, while delayed interflow has a longer lag time
What is the primary mechanism by which excess precipitation reaches smaller channels?
Surface runoff
Which of the following best describes interflow?
The precipitation that infiltrates and moves laterally through the upper soil layers
What is the relationship between baseflow and groundwater flow?
Baseflow is a subset of groundwater flow
Which type of runoff includes surface runoff, prompt interflow, and precipitation on the channel surface?
Direct runoff
Which type of flow is considered part of the surface runoff process?
Open channel flow
How does interflow differ from groundwater flow?
Interflow occurs in the upper soil layers, while groundwater flow occurs in the deeper soil layers
What is the main difference between prompt interflow and delayed interflow?
Prompt interflow has the least lag time, while delayed interflow has a longer lag time
Which type of runoff is considered part of the baseflow component?
Delayed interflow
How does surface runoff differ from open channel flow?
Surface runoff is the flow over land surfaces, while open channel flow is the flow through channels
