What else can I help you with?
What does the spacing between contour lines tell you?
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
What does coombed mean?
A coombed ceiling is a ceiling which slopes downward.
What is uncontrolled growth of settlements on hazardous hill slopes causing landslides?
hemotoxin
Violent shaking from an earthquake can cause soil and rock on slopes to fail and cause a?
landslide
What is a hachure line?
One of the short lines used on maps to shade or to indicate slopes and their degree and direction.
How human activities modify slopes?
Humans can affect by mining which can strengthening the slopes...others are like deforestation, urbanisation, dam construction, quarrying and recreation...^^
What human activity can cause mass movement?
Human activities such as deforestation, mining, construction, and irrigation can destabilize slopes and contribute to mass movements such as landslides and mudflows. When vegetation is removed, slopes are exposed to erosion, increasing the risk of mass movement. Improper construction and land-use practices can also weaken the stability of slopes, leading to mass wasting events.
What kind of simple machine is a mountain highway?
Since it slopes up I would put in inclined plane.
What is a irregular slope?
An irregular slope refers to a surface or gradient that does not maintain a consistent angle or steepness. This can occur in natural landscapes, such as hills or mountains, where the terrain varies in elevation and contour. Irregular slopes can pose challenges for construction, erosion control, and navigation due to their unpredictable nature. In contrast to regular slopes, which have a uniform gradient, irregular slopes often require careful analysis and planning in various applications.
What types of slopes can have mass wasting?
Mass wasting can occur on various types of slopes, including steep, unstable slopes often found in mountainous regions, as well as gentler slopes where soil saturation can lead to failure. Factors such as vegetation cover, soil composition, and moisture levels play significant roles in susceptibility. Areas with loose or fractured rock, clay-rich soils, or heavy rainfall are particularly prone to mass wasting events like landslides and mudslides. Additionally, human activities, such as construction and deforestation, can exacerbate the likelihood of mass wasting on both steep and gentle slopes.
What are the key differences between touring and alpine skis, and how do these differences impact performance on the slopes?
Touring skis are designed for backcountry skiing and uphill travel, with lightweight construction and a narrower width for easier maneuverability. Alpine skis are built for downhill skiing, with a wider width and heavier construction for stability at higher speeds. These differences impact performance by affecting the skis' weight, width, and flexibility, which can impact control, speed, and maneuverability on the slopes.
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other then they are if they have slopes that are the same then they are?
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel
What is the way to minimize the effects of landslides?
To minimize the effects of landslides, you can plant vegetation to stabilize slopes, build retaining walls or barriers, divert water away from slopes, and avoid construction on steep or unstable terrain. Early warning systems and emergency preparedness plans can also help reduce the impact of landslides.
Where do mass movements usually occur?
Mass movements usually occur in areas with steep slopes or unstable geological conditions, such as mountainous regions, volcanic slopes, or areas with a history of seismic activity. Factors like heavy rainfall, deforestation, and human activities like construction can also trigger mass movements.
What are the function of agar slopes?
function of agar slopes
What are precipitous slopes?
Slopes that are dangerously high and/or steep.
Have slopes that are the same?
same slopes = parallel lines
