Falling and creeping are the most common means through which weathered rock fragments move down a slope. Rocks break down as they weather.
Weathered rock fragments at the bottom of a hill are called scree. Scree formation is commonly attributed to the formation of ice within mountain rock slopes.
Either a hills or a mature (well eroded, old) mountain range.
temperatures are generally cold at high elevations, ice wedging is more common at high elevations then at lower elevations. on steep slopes such as mountainsides weathered rock fragments are pulled down hill by gravity and washed out by heavy rains. as the rock slide down the mountain or are carried away by mountain streams rock smash against each other and break apart. as a result of the removal of these surface Rock's new surfaces of the mountain are continually exposed to weathering
Soil erosion on hill slopes can be checked by contour ploughing.
"Slopes" means the ground is slanted, not straight or level "Away" means not toward you
Heaps of frost-weathered rock fragments are known as scree or talus. They form when frost action causes rocks to fracture and break apart, creating a loose accumulation of debris at the base of cliffs or steep slopes. Scree can be found in mountainous and glaciated regions.
Typically, weathered rock materials do not stay in place. Wherever the ground slopes, gravity causes soil and rock fragments to fall, slide, or move at slow speeds to lower levels. Rain or wind may remove sand and dust from the side of a hill. A river transporting weathered material downstream. Mass movement refers to the downward transportation of weathered materials by gravity. Erosion is the removal and transport of materials by natural agents such as wind and running water.

These are either VERY old mountains formed by the crust compressing or mountains formed by the crust slowly pulling apart over time.
The common wombat lives below the snow-line, in the more temperate parts of the lower slopes of the Australian Alps.It uis found most commonly in eucalyptus bushland and open woodland of these lower slopes.
You should when doing school work. If for your own use, it does not matter.
Mass wasting is the downslope movement of soil and weathered rock debris. Streams can deepen valleys by downcutting (erosion), but widening or enlarging of the valley via erosion of the sides or slopes is accomplished largely through mass wasting. Mass wasting delivers the weathered rock material and soil to the streams, which carry it away to some site of deposition.
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel
