Erosion is driven by the movement of water, or water flow. The steeper the slope, the faster water will flow. The faster water flows, the quicker erosion occurs.

Are the factors that affect erosion and deposition slopes the speed of the water and the amount of the water?
yes
How does clear-cutting affect erosion?
The trees are cut down and can fall over on slopes, which will cause mud slides or even affect the mountain.
Soil erosion on hill slopes can be checked by?
Soil erosion on hill slopes can be checked by contour ploughing.
How can erosion be reduced on steep slopes?
by planting vegetation
How prevent soil erosion on hill slopes?
plant trees
How would the rock cycle be affected in an area where tectonic plate motion is increasing the height and steepness of a mountain range?
Erosion along the mountain slopes would increase.
Are the factors that affect erosion and deposition slopes the speed of the water and the amount of the water?
yes
Do positive slopes move faster than negative slopes?
No, a slope doesn't really have a speed, just an angle of steepness.
Soil erosion on hill slopes can be checked by?
Soil erosion on hill slopes can be checked by contour ploughing.
How does clear-cutting affect erosion?
The trees are cut down and can fall over on slopes, which will cause mud slides or even affect the mountain.
How do you explain how the steepness of the land affects soil erosion?
The steeper the hillside, the higher chance for soil erosion.
Why slopes and ridges in canyons?
the erosion
How does steepness of the land affect erosion?
Steepness of land means that water can run down at greater speeds taking with it lose top soil. Once this top soil is gone this means the under soil which is easy to erode is eroded easily by rainfall and so gullies form due to the erosion of the soil. Hope this vaguely answered your questions. :)
How can erosion be reduced on deep slopes?
terracing
What are terraced slopes?
Slopes that have been plowed with a soil, and erosion conservation technique called terracing.
How can erosion be reduced on steep slopes?
by planting vegetation
The cliffs and slopes of the Grand Canyon are a result of?
erosion
