Adeline Gordon · Answer 1

land use

amount of rainfall

amount of vegetation

Explanation:

Land use is one of the biggest reason of runoff because land use for construction, agriculture and other purpose causes soil erosion and contribute to runoff.

Prolonged rainfall and heavy rainfall leads to the saturation of soil and causes runoff.

Amount of vegetation is inversely proportional to the runoff. More is the umber of trees and plants, more soil will be hold by roots and prevent soil erosion which will reduce the chances of runoff. Less vegetation will lead to more runoff.

Hence, the correct option are land use, amount of rainfall and amount of vegetation.
