Question

Which characteristic best distinguishes runoff and infiltration?

A:Runoff involves condensation and infiltration involves evaporation.
B:Runoff occurs over land and infiltration occurs underground.
C:Runoff occurs during floods and infiltration occurs during drought.
D:Runoff describes water movement and infiltration describes water storage.

Answer 1

I believe it's B. Runoff is where water passes across the surface, infiltration is defined as passed through with filtering, the ground being the filter, hence underground.
