Clay soil is more likely to flood than sand because clay soil has smaller particles and can hold more water. This means that it can become waterlogged quickly during heavy rain, leading to flooding. Sand, with its larger particles, drains water more easily and is less likely to flood.

Why surface runoff or rain not absorbed by the soil occurs much more often in areas with soils with a high clay content?
Soils with high clay content have smaller pore spaces which can limit the infiltration of water. This means that water is more likely to run off the surface rather than being absorbed into the soil. Clay soils also tend to form a crust when dry, further decreasing water absorption.
Is a flood likely to occur over an area that has a high water table or a low water table?
A flood is more likely to occur over an area with a high water table. A high water table means that the ground is already saturated with water, which can lead to faster runoff and increased risk of flooding during heavy rainfall.
Why might mudflows cause more damage than flood waters?
A mudflow is largelysilt and clay, unlike a flood which is primarily water. As a result, a mudflow is denser and so carries more force with which it may sweep away buildings scour at the ground and at stream channels. In some cases a mudflow has about the same density as concrete.

Mostly anywhere. Except it's more likely that it's by a big body of water like a big lake or ocean. Or if it rains like a ton somewhere.

Molds formed on the surface of mud or clay, then, rarely are fossilized, because they are likely to erode more quickly than the mud or clay in which they were formed can harden.
