What happens to the rate of stream erosion As slope increases?
as slope increases erosion rate increases (direct relationship)
How does slope affect the erosion and deposition of a river?
A steep slope increases the water flow, and the erosion wherever the bank is formed from softer material than rock, can be quite great when the river is in flood. Deposition is increased when the flow slows in the lower reaches as the river reaches the valley, and the gravel and silt is able to settle.
What happens to the ability of a river to erode land under it if its slope decreases?
If a rivers slope decreases, its ability to erode land under it decreases too. The slope determines the rivers velocity. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity, the more erosion.
How does runoff impact erosion?
runoff is what causes erosion, because as the water runs down the slope it carries with it the particles of material that form the slope
What factors contribute to erosion?

What is the relationship between the slope and the pythagorean theorem?
There is no relationship between slope and the theorem, however the theorem does deal with the relationship between angles and sides of a triangle.

What is the erosion by running water in a small channel on the side of a slope is called?
I believe your answer is River erosion: An example is Grand Canyon. Also, it may be wave erosion, you can check it out yourself as the question itself is not very clear.

If a rivers slope decreases, its ability to erode land under it decreases too. The slope determines the rivers velocity. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity, the more erosion.
How does finding slope compare to finding the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship?
The slope of a line is the same thing as the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship.
What does slow erosion mean?
erosion is when the rock or soil falls and make a slope
Is the inside bend of a meander called a river cliff?
The river cliff is the outside of a meander in a river. This is due to erosion from fast flowing water. Deposition occurs on the inside and the inside bend is called the SLIP-OFF SLOPE
How does runoff impact erosion?
runoff is what causes erosion, because as the water runs down the slope it carries with it the particles of material that form the slope
Type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope?
The type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope is called gully erosion. Gully and rill erosion are the dominant types of water erosion in the world.

What is the flattening of a slope on a hill to prevent erosion?
flattening of slope is generally a method of cutting the hill slope in the shape of steps. these steps being horizontal instead of slopey is better to check erosion.
