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.

If wind blows against a mountain from the south side then on which slope would you expect to find the precipitation?
You would expect to find the precipitation on the windward slope, which in this case would be the south side of the mountain. As the air rises and cools when it hits the mountain, it reaches its dew point and condenses into precipitation. This leaves the leeward side, or the north side in this scenario, in a rain shadow with less precipitation.

What mountain is The Slippery Slope on?
It is on the Mortmain Mountains.
How do you write point slope form in standard form?
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.
Describe a situation in which point-slope form would be more useful than slope-intercept form?
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.
What is 10x-5y in slope form?
10x-5y in slope form = 5
Why is slope intercept form called slope intercept form?
because right away you can tell the slope and y-intercept
In which direction does the kjolen mountain slope gently?

What makes a mountain a slope?
it is steep and very tall.
What does m stand for in the slope-intercept form?
Slope!
How do you rewrite y equals -2 in slope intercept form?
It is in slope intercept form. The slope is 0 and the y-intercept is -2.
What is the standard form of a slope?
In the standard form of a linear equation:y = mx + bm is the slope* * * * *The above is the slope-intercept form, not the standard form, which isax + by + c = 0The standard form can be converted to the slope intercept form by rearranging, as follows:by = -ax - cso y = -(a/b)x -(c/b)And then, the slope (or gradient) is (-a/b).
