Step 1
Runoff is the excess water that flows over the land surface when the soil is saturated and cannot absorb any more water. This usually happens during heavy rainfall. Now, let's analyze the given options: A) A and B: In these sections, the soil is unsaturated, Show more…

When moist wind from an ocean blows onshore toward a mountain range: A. as the air rises, it pulls moisture from the ground, causing the higher elevations to be drier. B. as the air rises, it holds less moisture, causing the dissipation of all clouds. C. as the air goes over the top of the mountain and falls back down toward lower elevations, it holds more moisture, creating a "rain shadow" desert with very little precipitation. D. as the air goes over the top of the mountain and falls back down toward lower elevations, it holds less moisture, creating a "rain shadow" zone of unusually high precipitation. E. None of the above.
