Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overland flow occurs when rainwater cannot infiltrate into the soil, causing it to flow over the surface. Sheet erosion often occurs with overland flow, where a thin layer of soil is gradually removed by the flowing water. Streamflow, on the other hand, refers to the flow of water in a defined channel or streambed, which can transport larger sediment and may be influenced by other factors such as the shape and size of the channel. Gravitational influence, sediment transport, erosion, and traction can occur in both overland flow and streamflow.
