What is the difference between steep and seep?
In terms of something like tea or coffee, steep means to soak something in liquid in order to extract flavor. ("Percolate" is the similar word usually used with coffee, and it means to filter something through, in this case also to extract flavor, but it might have a more "forced" feeling than steeping... actively forcing water through, rather than just soaking it.) As far as "seep" goes, that just means that something is leaking out, with the action on whatever is leaking rather than on someone actually purposely doing it. So, liquid might seep out of the bottom of a defective cup, but you can't "seep" something as an action to make a beverage. Other differences are the obvious spelling difference, and steep can also mean a heavily graduated hill or slope, and seep can be a slow leak like out of a fuel tank seam. Seep can also be seen as a small spring emerging from a hill.

What are some causes for water to seep up through the grout in between tiles on a tiled floor?
Water seeping up through the grout in between tiles on a tiled floor can be caused by several factors, including: Cracked Grout: If the grout between the tiles is cracked, water can seep through the cracks and reach the subfloor. Loose or Damaged Tiles: Tiles that are loose or damaged can allow water to seep through the gaps and reach the subfloor. Poorly Installed Tiles: If tiles were not installed correctly, with inadequate adhesive or a poorly leveled surface, water can seep through the gaps and reach the subfloor. High Water Table: If the area where the tiled floor is installed has a high water table, water can seep up through the grout. Plumbing Issues: A leak in the plumbing system, such as a damaged pipe or loose fitting, can cause water to seep up through the grout. Flooding: If the area where the tiled floor is installed experiences flooding, water can seep up through the grout and reach the subfloor.

Why does runoff not seep into the ground in steep slopes?
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..
