In areas of steep slopes, the ground is slanted as simple as that. as such, when there's runoff water the water doesn't seep through the ground but rather flows along the ground at a certain speed which doesn't give it sufficient time to seep through the ground.. this doesn't mean it doesn't seep through at all because it does but it's doesn't drain deep into the ground as expected on flat grounds..

Once the contaminants touch the ground they seep into the groundwater table, after this they are distributed into groundwater wells and aquifers.
Describe the cycle by which rain is returned to the earth?
The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in oceans and seas. Water evaporates as water vapor into the air. Ice and snow can sublimate directly into water vapor. Evapotranspiration is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil. Rising air currents take the vapor up into the atmosphere where cooler temperatures cause it to condense into clouds. Air currents move water vapor around the globe, cloud particles collide, grow, and fall out of the sky as precipitation. Some precipitation falls as snow or hail, and can accumulate as ice caps and glaciers, which can store frozen water for thousands of years. Snowpacks can thaw and melt, and the melted water flows over land as snowmelt. Most water falls back into the oceans or onto land as rain, where the water flows over the ground as surface runoff. A portion of runoff enters rivers in valleys in the landscape, with streamflow moving water towards the oceans. Runoff and groundwater are stored as freshwater in lakes. Not all runoff flows into rivers, much of it soaks into the ground as infiltration. Some water infiltrates deep into the ground and replenishes aquifers, which store freshwater for long periods of time. Some infiltration stays close to the land surface and can seep back into surface-water bodies (and the ocean) as groundwater discharge. Some groundwater finds openings in the land surface and comes out as freshwater springs. Over time, the water returns to the ocean, where our water cycle started.
What is water containing dissolved chemicals from a landfill?
Exactly what it sounds like. Landfills are huge rubbish dumps. If the site isn't prepared right, rain water will seep through and flush out chemicals from the rubbish. If this runoff isn't taken care of it CSN get into the groundwater and from there into the drinking water.

Would Granular soil or cohesive soil be greater runoff?
cohesive soil would have more runoff since the water would be less likely to seep past the surface layer. On granular soils, the passage ways are larger and the water can quickly seep into the structure of the soil.
What oily substance can seep out of the ground?
Petroleum
What causes soil and rock particles to rise?
Water from rainfall and runoff seep into the ground, so it fills the spaces between particles of soil and rock. The water freezes and gets bigger, (expands) and it causes the lifting of rock and soil. ☺
