Question

Explain rainwater drips from trees and seeps into the ground.

Answer 1

$<u><b><i>Only about a third of the precipitation that falls over land runs off into streams and rivers and is returned to the oceans. The other two-thirds is evaporated, transpired, or soaks into ground water. Surface runoff can also be diverted by humans for their own uses.$

Answer 2

Answer: Forest acts as a natural absorber of rainwater and allows it to seep because of roots of trees. When rainwater falls on leaves of trees and plants, it does not fall directly on the ground. It drips slowly on the forest ground (does not stagnate) and hence prevent floods.
