Which direction do

travel?
A downhill
B uphill
C uphill at certain times
of the day and
downhill at other
times of the day
D horizontally until
they reach an
obstacle that they
cannot pass over

A runoff happens when water drags sediment from a rock over a sloping terrain. Thus, water drags the eroded fragments of a rock in favor of gravity, pushing these fragments downwards. This is very common in mountainous and steep regions, without vegetation cover, where erosion caused by runoff is very high.
