HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE

Evaporation only occurs from bodies of water, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Vegetation cover can decrease infiltration rates in an area.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Urban areas typically have higher rates of surface runoff compared to rural areas due to increased impermeable surfaces.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Throughflow refers to the horizontal movement of water within the soil layers towards a drainage point, such as a river or stream.

• TRUE

• FALSE

High permeability in soil always leads to significant surface runoff.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The presence of vegetation cover can lead to increased surface runoff during heavy rainfall events.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Bare soil without vegetation is more likely to experience high rates of surface runoff compared to vegetated areas.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Groundwater flow is unaffected by the permeability and porosity of the surrounding soil or rock.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Evaporation can occur even at low temperatures, but the rate will be significantly lower compared to higher temperatures.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Interception refers to the process of precipitation being caught and stored on the surfaces of vegetation before it reaches the ground.

• TRUE

• FALSE
