What type of soil can handle rain?
Sandy soils "handle" rain better than clay soils, because the water tends to soak into the sand whereas it does not penetrate the clay so easilly and therefore runs away into the rivers.
How does the soil type affect the rate of runoff?
a particular soil's ability to soak up moisture affects runoff rate. Sandy soils soak up a lot of water, so usually have a low runoff rate. Clay is very reluctant to take in water, so water runs off of it - it has a high runoff rate.
What year was clay discovered?

How does clay affect plant growth?
Clay does help to hold in moisture, so in theory, this should give the roots of plants more water to soak up, leading to plant growth However, clay can be difficult for roots to push through. Also, because clay does not drain well once saturated, it can cause roots to rot from excess water exposure and denial of oxygen to the roots.
How long does it take to soak in soil?
Depends entirely on the type of garden soil you have. Water soaks into sandy soil very rapidly, into garden loam fairly rapidly. Soils with high clay content slow down the absorption, and absorption slows to a snails pace in pure clay.
