The sediment that is carried down mountain canyons and deposited on the gentle slopes at the base of the mountains is called alluvium. This alluvial deposit typically consists of a mix of sand, silt, clay, and gravel that has been transported by water flow and deposited as the flow velocity decreases on the gentler slopes.
Utah is a diverse and scenic state. Canyons Ski Resort is located on the slopes of the Wasatch Mountains. More information about the state and resort can be found online through TripAdvisor.
Unlike deep sea trenches which are found in areas where one tectonic plate slides beneath another undersea canyons are found along the slopes of most continental margins the submarine canyons for example tend to have steeper side slopes much higher gradients and considerably narrower floors. thats how they different
All bighorn sheep migrate between high mountain slopes in the summer and foothill slopes in winter. They live in areas that are rarely disturbed by humans. Bighorns are found on high, rugged, sparsely wooded mountain slopes, cliffs, and rocky, lightly wooded canyons and foothills.
to use a form of farming, called terraced farming you farm around hills or slopes.
The continental shelf is the border of any of the continents that extends out and down to the ocean floor. It consists of slopes, rises and underwater canyons.
They are canyons
Soil erosion is a special concern for deserts and mountain ridges because these areas have limited vegetation to hold the soil in place. The sparse vegetation in deserts and mountain ridges increases the likelihood of erosion by wind or water. Additionally, the steep slopes in mountain ridges can lead to rapid movement of soil during erosion events.
A deep valley with high steep slopes that often has a stream running through it is called a canyon. Canyons are typically formed by the erosion of water over time, creating a distinctive geological feature.
i believe it is a ridge if your talking about the part of the mountain that slopes down on opposite sides of a valley where the peak is the crest. :) hope that helps
