"The Side of a Hill" or a slope.
mountain
Wind will move faster over a steep hill than a gently sloping hill because the steep slope accelerates the airflow, leading to a decrease in air pressure on the windward side of the hill. This pressure difference drives faster wind speeds as air moves from high pressure to low pressure areas.
A steep hill with a flat top that stands alone is called a "mesa." Mesas are typically found in arid or semi-arid regions and are characterized by their steep sides and broad, flat summits. They are formed through the process of erosion, where softer rock layers are worn away, leaving the harder rock on top intact.
Mycenae was built as a fortified citadel on a steep hill. It was strategically positioned to provide defense and control over the surrounding region.
To determine if the hill is steep or gradual, one would need to assess its slope. A steep hill has a sharp incline, making it difficult to climb, while a gradual hill has a more gentle slope, allowing for easier ascent. The steepness can often be measured in degrees or by comparing the rise to the run. Without specific measurements or descriptions, it's hard to categorize the hill accurately.

An abruptly raised hill is called a bluff. It is a steep cliff, bank, or promontory.
A streamlined asymmetrical hill composed of till is called a drumlin. Drumlins are formed by glacial activity, with their shape indicating the direction of the glacier's movement. They typically have a steep side facing the glacier and a more gentle slope on the opposite side.
A steep-sided hill or mountain that stands alone and is usually smaller than a mesa is called a butte.
The steep side of a dune is called the slip face. It is the side of the dune where sand grains are deposited as they slide down due to gravity.
Slip face.
It is called the Continental Shelf
A steep hill with a flat top that stands alone is called a mesa. This geological formation is typically found in arid regions and is characterized by its distinct flat summit and steep sides. Mesas are created through erosion and weathering processes over millions of years.
Landslides can happen anywhere where their are steep hills or mountains.Landslides usually occur where there are steep mountain or hill sides. The steeper the angle of the mountain or hill side the more likely a landslide will happen.
