Why is the slope more gentle at the base of a mesa?
A mesa is, in general, an area of flat-topped land with fairly steeply sloped sides. As the sides of a mesa weather and erode, material will accumulate along the base of the slopes. This will decrease the steepness of the slope at the base.
What do rapid increases mean on a topographic map?
This indicates steeply ascending or descending terrain. The distance between the lines indicates different elevations, so lines that are closer together indicate steep places while lines that are farther apart indicate smoother terrain.

What is onlap?
The termination of shallowly dipping, younger strata against more steeply dipping, older strata, or the termination of low-angle reflections in seismic data against steeper reflectionThe termination of shallowly dipping, younger strata against more steeply dipping, older strata, or the termination of low-angle reflections in seismic data against steeper reflections. Onlap is a particular pattern of reflections in seismic data that, according to principles of sequence stratigraphy, occurs during periods of transgression. s.

Who realized that rocks undergo changes?
Siccar Point is the location where the Scottish geologist James Hutton discovered the unconformity (now named after him) where tectonically disturbed and hence steeply dipping Silurian greywackes are overlain by horizontally bedded Devonian sandstones. Please see the related links.
