Run-off from pavement or smooth rock during rainfall is much greater and faster than run-off from soil or other surfaces as there is little obstruction (friction) to the water flow. These surfaces also absorb very little water, meaning that there is a larger amount of run-off.
This means that waterways can have to deal with large intakes of water in a very short amount of time, often leading to flash flooding, as the waterway can not handle such a large amount of water at once.
Answer:
A). Subjects who were given misleading information after viewing the slides were far less accurate in their memories for the kind of sign present than were subjects who were given no such information.
Explanation:
As per the given example, option A displays the results or consequences of the given study which researched the 'impacts of various types of information on human memory'. The results would reveal that 'subjects who were offered misleading information were less correct in their memories in comparison to the subjects who were not proffered with any such information' as the wrong or misinformation leads to form inaccurate or false memories in their mind which implies that 'memories can not be reliable'. Therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
