Answer:
Option b. Surface water
Rainwater that does not seep into the soil and runs off on land is called Surface water.
Explanation:
- Rainwater or water from rivers, ponds, and other sources permeates the soil and fills cracks and fissures that are many feet deep. Water seeping into the earth is referred to as infiltration.
- And the rainwater which fails to seep into the soil, and runs off on land surfaces. And this is called Surface (runoff) water.
- The water table is the top layer of subsurface water. All the pores and fissures in sediments and rocks are filled (saturated) with water under this surface.
- Groundwater is found in these saturated strata, also referred to as the saturated zone (or phreatic zone). Groundwater is water that is present underground in cavities and cracks in rock, sand, and soil.
- Aquifers are geologic formations of soil, sand, and rocks where it is stored and slowly circulate.
- Groundwater is liquid that exists below in saturated areas below the surface of the earth. Contrary to common perception, underground "rivers" are not formed by groundwater.
- Ice sheets are large-scale continental domes of ice, and glaciers are rivers of ice. Both glaciers and ice sheets move slowly, carrying snow and ice to lower altitudes where it melts or breaks off as icebergs that float in the ocean.
Hence option b. surface water is the correct answer.
