The rock fragments that accumulate at the base if a steep slope are usually known as scree or talus.
that isn't true. the wider apart the contour lines are than the softer the slope (not steep) if they are closer together than the slope will be alot steeper.
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
Yes, two contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope on a topographic map. The closer the lines are, the steeper the slope. Further apart lines show a gentler slope.
it will make strong winds blow. (A+)
Soils don't form on steep slopes because the rate of erosion outweighs the rate of soil formation. The steep gradient causes water to wash away any accumulating soil particles before they have a chance to develop into mature soil. This process results in shallow or no soil development on steep slopes.
The general term for material that falls down and gathers at the foot of a steep cliff or mountain face is scree.

it flows faster on a steep slope
Talus
It really depends on the slope. If it is a steep slope, the runoff will flow downhill faster and collect more at the bottom. If it is a pretty level slope, the runoff won't collect at the bottom of it. The water will just flood the top of the slope.
What kind of good has a steep slope?
Standing on the top of a concave slope means you can not see down to the bottom due to the bulge in the middle. A concave slope starts gently and gets steeper, once over the bulge, near the bottom. Standing on a concave slope means that you can see the bottom of the slope. A concave slope starts off steeply and becomes less steep near the bottom.
A steep slope, due to the velocity of the water/runoff.
the same thing as a steep slope in Asia
steep slope with a flat plateau on top
Steep Slope Sliders happened in 1997.
Material will travel faster in a river flowing down a steep slope. As the water slows down, the material will also slow down.
