No, heavy clay soils drain more slowly than sandy soils. In other words, the composition of the soil determines the rate water travels through it.

Does rainwater absorb at the same rate in different kind of soil?
No,different soils absorb rainwater of different rates
Do all rocks react with rainwater at the same rate?
No. Rainwater is usually slightly acidic because of the carbon dioxide dissolved in it. Sometimes, it can be strongly acidic, if pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are dissolved in it. Both weakly and strongly acidic rainwater react with some rocks, but only ones that are alkaline. Chalk is almost pure calcium carbonate and reacts fairly quickly with rainwater. Other rocks that contain calcium carbonate include limestone and marble and these react a little more slowly. But some rocks, like sandstone, are actually acidic and don't react with rainwater (though they are still physically weathered by rain). Granite also doesn't react with rainwater and it physically weathers much more slowly.
How would local wind be affected if water and land absorbed and released heat at the same rate?
How is land breeze similar to sea brezze
How would local winds be affected if water and land absorbed and released heat at the same rate?
Local winds are driven by temperature differences in areas fairly close to each other. If water and land absorbed and released heat at the same rate, there wouldn't be any temperature differences and nothing to power local winds. See the related link for further information.
How are humans responsible in causing weathering?
Weathering is a NATURAL process that would occur without humans on the planet. However, human activities, particularly the dumping of acidic gases (Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide made as a byproduct of industry) into the atmosphere causes rainwater to become more acid than it would be if humans were not doing this. This acid rainwater speeds up the rate of weathering, particularly of limestone rocks.
Does rainwater absorb at the same rate in different kind of soil?
No,different soils absorb rainwater of different rates
Does rainwater absorb at the same rate in different types of soil?
Different plants have different nutrients , so no
What is permeabillity of soil?
Permeability is the rate (speed) that rainwater seeps through the different layers of soil.
Is water absorbed at the same rate in different kinds of soil?
No, different soils absorb rain water at different rates.
