Similar storms occurring in the Amazon jungle and in the desert Southwest of the United States will produce different surface-runoff effects. Surface runoff is affected by both meteorological factors and the physical geology and topography of the land. Only about a third of the precipitation that falls over land runs off into streams and rivers and is returned to the oceans. The other two-thirds is evaporated, transpired, or soaks (infiltrates) into groundwater. Surface runoff can also be diverted by humans for their own uses.
A rise in the water level or a thaw breaks the ice into large chunks, which can become jammed at man-made and natural obstructions, resulting in severe flooding. A midwinter or early spring thaw can produce large amounts of runoff in a short period of time.
