What surface soil type has the slowest permeability rate and is most likely to produce flooding?
Generally, it's the type with the most clay at the surface. Clay type soils are least permeable, especially when disturbed or compacted when wet by agricultural or forestry heavy machinery. The permeability rate of soil can be somewhat inversely related to it's porosity. Clay soils are very porous, since they can hold more water than a sandy or loamy soil type. However, rate of infiltration and permeability are slow. it can take a long time for water to soak into the soil (rain water entering soil prevents over land flow and therefore flooding). Sandy soils are able to quickly absorb water and generally have higher permeability. Caveat - Sandy soils, in temperate and subtropical climates, often have a limiting clay layer somewhere below the surface that restrict water flow through the soil profile at certain depths.

Which surface soil type has the lowest permeability and is most likely to create flooding?
Clay soil has the lowest permeability due to its small particle size, causing it to absorb water slowly. This can lead to increased runoff and potential flooding because the water is not able to infiltrate the soil quickly enough.
When rain falls on a soil flooding at that location would most likely occur if?
the rate of rainfall exceeds the infiltration capacity of the soil, leading to excess water collecting on the surface and causing flooding. The soil may already be saturated or have low permeability, making it more prone to flooding. Additionally, factors such as the slope of the land and existing drainage patterns can contribute to flooding during heavy rainfall events.
Does kinds of soil affect the flow of water in watersheds?
Yes, the type of soil in a watershed can greatly impact the flow of water. Soils with high porosity and permeability, like sandy soils, allow water to infiltrate and flow more easily, reducing surface runoff and potential erosion. In contrast, clay soils with low permeability may lead to more surface runoff and increased risk of flooding.
What process is the slowest to change Earth's surface?
The slowest process to change Earth's surface is likely tectonic plate movement, which occurs over millions of years. This movement can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.

What was the slowest plane?
The 2-dimensional plane (it's a flat surface, usually immobile)

Which seismic wave travels the slowest?
Surface waves, Secondary waves, Primary waves :) I had this as a science question in school a few weeks ago... hope this helps :) Oh whoops i didnt log in so i did it again.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
