If slope is very steep why can vegetation be less despite good rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rapid surface runoff can wash away fertile soil and moisture

On a steep slope, rainwater flows downhill rapidly. This causes erosion of fertile topsoil and leaves less time for water to infiltrate the ground. Therefore, plants may not get enough stable soil or moisture even when rainfall is good. Unlike option B, steep slopes usually promote rapid runoff rather than waterlogging. Exam tip: associate steep slopes with greater runoff and soil erosion.
