Scree slopes are common in upland areas, such as the Lake District. The scree - broken fragments of rock - is usually formed by freeze-thaw activity. This breaks solid rock into smaller, often angular particles. Scree is common in mountainous areas, since night-time temperatures often fall below freezing point, and there is a ready supply of moisture to freeze. A typical lowland glaciated valley can be seen in the background.

Scree slope and cliffs near Eldborg, an ancient volcanic crater, in southern Iceland. Rocks fractured and broken apart by freeze-thaw action here form slopes of loose material. The slopes are very similar to the landscape of hot desert areas. Areas such as southern Iceland - which are called periglacial (literally on the edge of glacier activity) - are sometimes called cold deserts.
Pile of rubble and sediment that collects at the foot of a mountain range or cliff. The rock fragments that form scree are usually broken off by the action of frost (freeze-thaw weathering). With time, the rock-waste builds up into a heap or sheet of rubble that may eventually bury even the upper cliffs, and the growth of the scree then stops. Usually, however, erosional forces remove the rock waste so that the scree stays restricted to lower slopes.
It happeneds by a process called 'freeze-thaw' weathering, which breaks the rocks at the top of the mountain/hill down. This happeneds when water gets into the cracks in the rocks, then at night time, it turns into ice and expands. This slowly cracks the rocks and bits fall off. After that, the broken bits with form scree down the mountain.

SO, THE MOUNTAIN IS forming SO, THE MOUNTAIN IS forming
After sunset the sun is no longer warming the mountain side and there is cooling of the air along the slope. The air becomes more dense and sinks into to valley. Thus the wind blows from the mountain side down into the valley and is thus called a mountain breeze.
contour lines that are very close together
.....A person can experience the coolest air temperature in a mountain, when he/she is on the left slope.......
runoff is what causes erosion, because as the water runs down the slope it carries with it the particles of material that form the slope
The Appalachian mountain.
Hill,Slope or Mountain
the top of the elevated hill, slope, or mountain.
The slope.
It is on the Mortmain Mountains.
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.
You use point-slope form to find the equation of a line if you only have a point and a slope or if you are just given two point. Usually you will convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form to make it easier to use.
10x-5y in slope form = 5
Because the air moving down the leeward slope is dry.
because right away you can tell the slope and y-intercept

In north
it is steep and very tall.
