How are contour lines shown for a gentle slope?
Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
What is a uniform slope?
A Uniform slope is a slope with evenly spaced contours, it can be for hills of any gradient, weather it is steep or gradual, but they have to be evenly spaced
Which set of conditions would produce the most runoff of precipitation?
gentle slope, unsaturated soil, vegetation
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.
Does the continental slope has a gentle slant?
Comparatively it has.
What is a gentle slope?
When the contour lines are farther apart, this means that the slopes between them are gentle. On the other side, if the contour interval is smaller, the slope will be steep.
What is the definitions of cues?
A ridge of limestone with a steep slope and a gentle slope on the other side
What is the name of a geological ridge characterized by a gentle slope facing a steep slope?
Cuesta
Why is it difficult to climb a vertical slope than a gentle slope?
Gravity is always pulling objects down so when you climb upward gravity weighs you down, you have to use effort to move yourself in the oposite direction that gravity is pulling you that is why it is harder to climb up a slope. When you climb a gentle slope you still are using energy but it takes longer to reach the same height on a gentle slope versus a verticle slope. On a verticle slope you are climbing higher instead of farther so on each step gravity weighs you down much more than on a gentle slope. When climbing a gentle slope you don't rise as rapidly so gravity doesn't take as much of a toll on you and you have a chamce to recover.
