Question

when water doesnt get absorbed into soil or evaporate into the atmosphere it becomes ______. options: transpiration, runoff, precipitation, sublimation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Transpiration: Water loss from plants, not related to water not absorbed/evaporated.
• Runoff: Water that flows over land (not absorbed/evaporated), matches the description.
• Precipitation: Water falling from atmosphere (rain, snow), not the result of unabsorbed/une vaporated water.
• Sublimation: Solid to gas (e.g., ice to vapor), not related.

Answer:

B. runoff
