5) When rain falls to the earth, it just doesn't sit there. Instead, the rain water starts moving. Some of the precipitation seeps into the ground to replenishing groundwater. However, most of it flows downhill as runoff. Runoff is important in filling rivers and lakes, but it also changes the landscape by erosion and can be a powerful mover. Flowing water is a powerful force,
capable of moving boulders and carving out canyons. Runoff has an impact on streams and rivers, but it also has an impact on the ocean system. What can you infer about the impact of
runoff on Ocean life? Choose ALL that apply.
A) Runoff drops a lot of sediment in the ocean, decreasing salinity.
B) Runoff builds up the coastline, depositing sediment, disrupting habitats of marine wildlife.
Runoff can lead to overgrowth of algae that can cause oxygen deprivation and create a dead zone.
D) Runoff carries pollutants into the ocean, causing illness and death of vulnerable marine populations.
) Runoff can carry bacteria, viruses and other pathogens from pet and livestock waste that can harm shellfish and other marine organisms.

The diagrams show objects’ gravitational pull toward each other. which statement describes the relationship between diagram x and y? gravity attracts only larger objects toward one another. gravity attracts larger objects only if they are close to one another. if the masses of the objects increase, then the force between them also increases. if distance between the objects increases, then the amount of force also increases.
