Question

Give reason : infiltration of water is low in the region of non-porous soil ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Clay particles in the soil may swell as they become wet and thereby reduce the size of the pores. In areas where the ground is not protected by a layer of forest litter, raindrops can detach soil particles from the surface and wash fine particles into surface pores where they can impede the infiltration process.
