Which set of conditions would produce the most runoff of precipitation?
gentle slope, unsaturated soil, vegetation
Which layers are impermeable?
Impermeable means that stuff can't go through it. Wax is impermeable to water. Paper towels are not. Glass is impermeable to air. Mesh cloth is not. Some things are impermeable to one thing but not another. Clear plastic is impermeable to water and air, but not light. Lead metal is impermeable to x-rays, but not heat.

What is the meaning of soil settlement?
It would seem to suggest the level of compaction of the top layers of soil. Rainfall, decomposition of organic matter and the overall composition of the soil (abundance of clay acts as an impermeable) will be major influences in compaction or settlement of the layers.
