Any hard inpermiable surface will have high runoff. I would place cement or asphault as the highest with cities having the highest concentration of these surface types. Certain highly rocky regions may also exhibit high runnoff depending on the type of rock involved.

In which area will surface runoff likely be the greatest during a heavy rainfall?
A paved city street.
Area where the water table meets earths surface and flows out?
runoff
What factors affect water runoff?
The Major Factors That Affect The Amount Of Water Runoff In An Area Are: - amount of vegetation and non-permeable surfaces (development) - slope of land (grade) - duration and rate of rainfall - nature of ground (soil type) - soil saturation (moisture)
How does the structure of an area affect the amount of runoff?
Runoff increase with lack of permeability, rake of the surface and flames of the surface.Imagine an area which is perfectly smooth, tilted at a steep angle and covered with teflon. Water sprayed on it will run off almost immediately. This is the worse\t case.Now imagine:The same area covered with sponge rubber will absorb and retain waterThe same area flat to the ground will retain sone waterThe same area - flat to the ground - who's surface is pocked and irregular will have pooled or retained water.The same area in any position but covered with porous material (cloth for example) will allow water to pass through the surface to be trapped belowThe same area covered with plants will retain water (spongy) absorb water into the plants and evaporate it.
What area in the world has the greatest amount of earthquake and volcanic activity?
Hawaii
In which area will surface runoff likely be the greatest during a heavy rainfall?
A paved city street.
Where will surface runoff be the greatest during a heavy rainfall?
The surface run off is likely to be greatest on a sloped area (30 deg-45deg) where we have least forest cover or an area where deforestation has occurred during heavy rainfall. This sloped area could be of an hill or edging flanks of a plateau........
Area where the water table meets earths surface and flows out?
runoff
What water from precipitation that flows over the land surface but is not absorbed is called?
The water from precipitaion that flows over the land surface but is not abosrbed is called runoff. The definition of runoff is the portion of precipitation on an area which does not infiltrate, but is instead discharged from the area.
What happens to the greatest common factor of the cylinders' surface area if its radius is squared?
Nothing. The cylinder's surface area does not have a GCF.
Does rain or run off cause more effect on changing the shape of a mountain?
Runoff - Rain is dispersed across a wide area (the entire surface of the area where it falls.) Runoff is a large amount of rain collected into a low point of the mountain, forming streams and rivers. So, more concentrated body of water is able to move more material, meaning that the runoff is able to cause more focused erosion than the rain alone.
What term means amount of space on a surface?
surface area
How and where is waste water from your area disposed off?
Household waste goes into a septic tank, surface runoff goes into a lake.
It is possible to increase the amount of pressure by the amount of area where force is applied.?
The surface area
Will Runoff will increase as vegetation in the area decreases?
Yes, runoff is likely to increase as vegetation in the area decreases. Vegetation plays a crucial role in absorbing and slowing down rainfall, allowing water to infiltrate into the ground. Without vegetation, more water will run off the surface, leading to increased runoff. This can result in higher risks of flooding and erosion.
Which scottish loch has the greatest surface area?
loch lomond
Do cubes have the same volume and surface area?
Yes Volume: Is the amount it takes to build it. Surface Area: Is how much is on the surface.
