Relief
then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
Examples of slope: http://www.answers.com/topic/slope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope
Yes, it is true; slope zero is no slope.
X=5 is a vertical line, so it has no slope. When I say it has no slope, I don't mean the slope is 0, I mean the slope is nonexistent.
Relief
Relief is a term that is used to describe land's physical shape. It describes the height, slope, shape, and aspect of land.
contour lines
"topographical"
The same as Meteorologic Wind maps, the closer the lines of Gradients are spaced to each other, the greater are the represented Gradients, be they wind or slope or elevation.
relief and topography both gives us the knowledge of the elevation and the type of land forms of a place but topography also tells us about the surface shape and the distribution of land forms in a region.
Relief rain is when moist air from the sea rises over a mountain and the air gets cold and forms clouds and the rain mostly falls on one side and becomes less at the bottom
It means that it isnt very mountainy and has low flat ground.
Slopes are categorized in groups called primary slopes and secondary slopes. Primary slopes promote relief while secondary slopes decrease relief. Moist areas are great for the progression of vegetation and soil.
Relief rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise over topographic barriers such as mountains. As the air rises, it cools, condenses, and forms clouds, leading to rainfall on the windward side of the mountain. This phenomenon is common in areas with mountain ranges, such as the western coast of North and South America.
Relief in geography refers to the variations in elevation of a land surface. It is important because it influences climate, weather patterns, and the distribution of vegetation. Relief also affects human activities such as agriculture, transportation, and settlement patterns.
Contours show the elevation above sea level. The steeper the slope the closer the contour lines. Therefore, on a low elevation the contours will be far apart.
