How does the slope of the land affect the amount of soil eroded?
The amount of soil erosion depends on length of the time quantity of land mass natural factors like wind temperature water and the hight difference of surround material. Slope is a major factor to affect this process more slope means much easier to drift the soil
What is a list of factors affecting soil formation?
1. Climate 2. Slope of land 3. Types of rock 4. Types of vegetation 5. Amount of time rock has been weathering
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.
Consider a weathered rock or soil particle lying on a slope How will the gravitational force pulling the particle downward along the land surface vary with the inclination of the slope?
It will decrease as the slope angle is lessened
What is the definition of a land slide?
Loose soil and rubble moving down a slope.
What factor in soil formation deals with slope of the land?
topogrphy map
What is a name for a shape land can take?
I believe the answer you are looking for would be land form, or land formation.
Definition of land formation?
the formation of land
Pictures and diagrames to illustrate land formation?
land formation

How do the contour lines on a topographic map indicate the slope of land?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
When rolling or sliding a box down a slope where will it land?
At the bottom of the slope?
How the planets contribute to land formation?
Planets play no role in land formation of the earth

If Contour lines are close together the land has a gentle slope?
The closer the contours, the steeper the slope.
