Why soils don't form on steep slopes?
the soil gets washed down the steep slope and gathers at the bottom
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
that isn't true. the wider apart the contour lines are than the softer the slope (not steep) if they are closer together than the slope will be alot steeper.
Where would soil erode the fastest?
On a steep slope
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a?
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
What term describes an accumulation of angular rock fragments at the base of a steep bedrock slope or cliff?
Talus Slope.
What Material that accumulates at the bottom of a steep slope?
The general term for material that falls down and gathers at the foot of a steep cliff or mountain face is scree.
What is material that accumulate at the bottom of a steep slope?
The general term for material that falls down and gathers at the foot of a steep cliff or mountain face is scree.
Does material travel faster when the river is flowing down a steep slope or across flat land?
it flows faster on a steep slope
Material that collects at the foot of a steep slope or cliff is called?
Talus
Why soils don't form on steep slopes?
the soil gets washed down the steep slope and gathers at the bottom
How does the slope of an area affect its runoff?
It really depends on the slope. If it is a steep slope, the runoff will flow downhill faster and collect more at the bottom. If it is a pretty level slope, the runoff won't collect at the bottom of it. The water will just flood the top of the slope.
What kind of good has a steep slope?
What kind of good has a steep slope?
What type of slope will erode quicker a gentle slope or a steep slope?
A steep slope, due to the velocity of the water/runoff.
What is the difference between a concave slope and convex slope?
Standing on the top of a concave slope means you can not see down to the bottom due to the bulge in the middle. A concave slope starts gently and gets steeper, once over the bulge, near the bottom. Standing on a concave slope means that you can see the bottom of the slope. A concave slope starts off steeply and becomes less steep near the bottom.
A steep slope with flat plateau?
steep slope with a flat plateau on top
What is a steep slope in Africa called?
the same thing as a steep slope in Asia
When did Steep Slope Sliders happen?
Steep Slope Sliders happened in 1997.
