What is the relationship between discharge and slope of a stream?
AnswerDischarge of material? Material discharged or eroded would increase with increasing slope due to the increased cutting action of the water.
What is the definition of a land slide?
Loose soil and rubble moving down a slope.
What are some characteristics of rock slides and rock falls?
Well, basically, land and structures that used to be up there, are now... down there!!! At the bottom, or closer to the bottom of a slope!! disrupted and/or mixed layers, of soil and rock, as compared with adjacent areas.
What would be covered with thick turbidite layers?
deep-sea fan at the base of a continental slope
What Material accumulates at the bottom of a steep slope?
The rock fragments that accumulate at the base if a steep slope are usually known as scree or talus.
What is the angle at which loose material will not slide down a slope?
90 degrees
What sort of surface should prevent slipping?
Answer is A riged surface prevnts slipping on a slope.
The angle of what is the steepest slope at which loose material will not slide downslope?
That depends on the friction between the loose material and the slope. In most high friction situations, objects will tumble rather then slide down a slope.But to give you some numbers: most playground slides are 45` or less, an experienced rock climber can walk up a 60`slope with climbing shoes and a rough surface.
Can an exterior door landing have a slope?
noo its alittle dangerous chances of slipping
What sort of surface should a slope have to prevent us slipping?
A rough Surface
What is a lee slope in an avalanche?
The lee slope is not actually an aspect of an avalanche itself, but it can be a cause if an avalanche. It is the sheltered side of a peak or slope that is not exposed to wind and sunlight. If snow accumulates here, daily freezing and thawing from contact with sunlight, as well as the action of wind that normally would blow loose snow away, will not have as great of affect in moving loose snow and keeping the snow packed with layers of ice. This snow could avalanche easily.
What sort of SURFACE should slope have to prevent slipping?
A bumpy, rough surface so you don't slip.
What sort of surface should a slope have prevent slipping?
To prevent slipping, a sloped surface should have a roughened surface, one that provides ample friction. Smooth surfaces such as polished stone, metal, or wood are not as safe as gritty concrete, rough brick, or asphalt. In some cases, strips of sandpaper-like material are added to slopes or steps to make them safer to walk on.
What physical property does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?
AnswerWhen the mass of a material is plotted against volume, the slope of the line is the density of the material.
What is the force that pulls material down a slope?
Gravity.
What is the relationship between discharge and slope of a stream?
AnswerDischarge of material? Material discharged or eroded would increase with increasing slope due to the increased cutting action of the water.
What is the definition of a land slide?
Loose soil and rubble moving down a slope.
