Impermeable
Which letter represents the surface that most likely absorbs the greatest amount of insolation?

Which type of land surface will most likely absorb the greatest amount of incoming solar radiation?
Rough,light colored surface
Why is high intensity rainfall likely to lead to flooding?
High intensity rainfall can cause or lead to flooding because its allot of rainfall in a short amount of time meaning there wont be time for much of the rain to be infiltrate into the soils which leads to increased surface runoffs which increases the discharge in the river leading to floods.
