Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interception refers to the process where precipitation is intercepted by vegetation or other land cover before reaching the surface. This water can either evaporate back into the atmosphere, be absorbed by the vegetation, or eventually reach the surface as throughfall or stemflow. Infiltration refers to the process where water seeps into the ground surface, overland flow refers to the movement of water over the ground surface, and surface runoff refers to the flow of water over impermeable surfaces.
