Why are composite volcanoes steeply sloped?
It depends on viscosity of the lava. the runnier the lava, the farther it flows before solidifying, so it cannot pile up as fast.
What is the entrance or opening to a mine called?
An adit. In North America, the horizontal or sloped entrance to a mine is called a "Portal". Portal more specifically refers to the portion of the shaft visible from the outside of the mine.

With a vertical shaft, that portion would be called a "Collar".

What are the ways that slump creep mudflows and rockslides are the same?
Both landslides and avalanches are can be caused by heavy rain or snow. An avalanche is great volumes of mass sliding down a sloped area, a mudslide or mudflow also are great volumes of mass sliding down a sloped area. these are some of the similarities between a mudslide and an avalanche.
Is perpendicular vertical?
Not necessarily. A perpendicular to a sloped line will be sloped. It will be at right angles to the sloped line, though.
