Steep slopes can lead to floods primarily due to rapid runoff. When heavy rain falls on steep terrain, the water flows quickly down the incline, overwhelming drainage systems and natural channels. This swift movement can result in flash floods, especially in areas with limited vegetation to absorb water. Additionally, the erosion of soil can further exacerbate flooding by increasing sediment in waterways, reducing their capacity.
