Flash flooding is most likely to occur when heavy rain falls on (1) deforested landscapes with clay soils.
The reason why the Midwestern United States have a very fertile soil, but Canada doesn't, despite both of them being covered by glaciers until relatively recently, and both having the same age of soil, is the climate and vegetation.
Canada is much colder than the Midwest, its winters are longer, and the summers mild, while the Midwest has higher temperatures, prolonged period of drought, and seasonal rainfall.
Because of this, Canada has been covered by coniferous forests. They leave relatively little biomass, and also the climate is making the decomposition of the biomass very slow, thus resulting in relatively poor soil quality.
In the Midwest, the climate is perfect for the development of the grasslands. The grasses grown and die each year. They live a lot of biomass, and the higher temperatures contribute that the biomass decomposes pretty quickly, thus resulting in good quality soil.
Two friends are reading books. Jimmy reads a book with 21,356 words. His friend Bob reads a book with one-and-a-half times as many words. Which expression represents the number of words Bob reads?

Astronomical unit is that the average distance from the planet to the Sun, just about a hundred and fifty million klick. At its nighest purpose, Saturn is nine AU, then at its most distant purpose, it's 10.1 AU. Saturn's average distance from the Sun is 9.6 AU.
hope it helps!
