What are the natural anchors that tie layers of soil together on a slope?

The roots of grasses (shallow, but helps to prevent the rain washing away the soil), shrubs (deeper) and trees (deeper still and stronger). When people remove or cut down trees and other growth off a slope, wet weather is likely to saturate the soil and landslides are likely.

What is loose material in layers slipping down a slope?
ice or rocks
What would be covered with thick turbidite layers?
deep-sea fan at the base of a continental slope
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
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.
What is Planting along the natural slope of the land to reduce soil erosion?
Contour farming
What is a form of mass wasting event that occurs when loosely consolidated materials or rock layers move a short distance down a slope?
A Creep
What is loose material in layers slipping down a slope?
ice or rocks
What would be covered with thick turbidite layers?
deep-sea fan at the base of a continental slope
What represents a steep slope on a map?
Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.
What is a slope geography?
a steep slope in geography is if you see one on a map then it would be lines that are close together,
How do you contour lines show a steep slope?
How close together the brown contour lines are Yes, the closer the contours the steeper the slope. Flat land, by definition, has no contour lines.
What is rip rapping?
building on a slope. A subtaining slope wall of stones held together by mud or cement.
Two lines are perpendicular If one line has a slope of 1 21 what is the slope of the other line?
The slope of a line and the perpendicular to that line, when multiplied together, give -1. So, if the first line has a slope of 1/21, the second has a slope of -21.
How can you tell where the slope is steep just by looking at contour lines?
Where the slope is steep the contour lines will come close together.
Contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper what?
Slope
What kind of slope gives you lines that are close together?
Relief
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
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.
What factors help determine the type of soil such as the thickness of the layers and their compositions?
Slope, time, location, humus, rain water, and etc.
