How do different slopes affect friction?
Slopes have the same friction of the road but in slopes the Potential energy changes into Kinetic Energy which causes movement..
Can a creep occur on even very gently slopes?
yes
Identify the force that keeps a box from sliding down an angled conveyor belt that slopes upward?
The force that keeps a box from sliding down an angled conveyor belt that slopes upward is the friction
What is a force that pulls material down a slope?
Gravity Also, Erosion and Weathering help out the process as well.
What are the factors that make slopes more susceptible to the pull of gravity?
Because the slopes are sliding it is easy for gravity for pulling...
When rock material moves down slopes what system does it enter into?
stream systems
What problems are caused by stripping the trees off the slopes in Nepal?
Why don't this answer the question
How can steep slopes cause flooding?
if the slopes are steep and if it rains the rain will quickly travel down the slope and into the river- if it rains a lot eventually a flood would be caused because the river cannot take too much water- a way to prevent this is too build a dam there so the water can go down to the river at a slow pace. :) hope this helps a lot
How are sea land breezes similar to mountain and valley breezes?
Mountain and valley breezes are other examples of local winds caused by an area's geography. Campers in mountains areas may feel warm afternoon quickly change into cold night soon after the sun sets. During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes. This warm air rises up the mountain slopes, creating a valley breeze. At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cools. This is cool air moves down the slopes into the valley, producing a mountain breeze.

A smaller volcano with steep slopes. A volcanic cone built entirely of loose fragmented material?
Cinder cone
Why do marine west coast climates have abundant precipitation?
Marine west coast climates have abundant precipitation because humid air from the Pacific Ocean hits the western slopes of the Coastal Ranges. The air rises up the slopes of the mountains, and it cools. As the air cools, large amounts of rain or snow fall on the western slopes. The eastern slopes lie in the rain shadow of the mountains and receive little precipitation. (Don't correct my answer)
How high is a landslide slope?
Landslide slopes vary depending on the type of material, angle of repose (angle material or debris natural forms when stacked or piled), and the conditions in which the landslide may occur.
Problems from a drain pipe that slopes to much?
None, people used to think it caused erosion or leave solids behind but it was proven not true
What material makes the seafloor?
Away from the continental slopes, the ocean floor crust is basalt. That is generally covered by silt, though there are areas of bare rock
When a block of material moves down slopes along a curved surface the type of mass movement is called?
This is known as a landslide with a circular slip geometry.
