Why are ordinary springs commonly found in steep terrain'?

Ordinary springs are commonly found in steep terrain because the steep slopes allow for more rapid infiltration of water into the ground. This water then flows through the underground rock layers until it reaches a point where it is discharged as a spring. The steep terrain also provides pressure that helps push the water to the surface, creating springs.
