The vehicle traveling uphill has the right of way on narrow steep roads because it is usually more difficult for the uphill vehicle to stop and then regain momentum.
Sure! Here are some examples: The hikers struggled as they climbed uphill. Running uphill can be a great way to challenge yourself. The athlete's strength and determination helped her conquer the steep uphill course. He breathed heavily as he pedaled his bike uphill.
mountains have steep slopes and a small summit but hills are generally lower and are less steep than mountains
You can't very easily ski uphill, but if it's a little one you can. What you do is get a lot of speed from a steep hill and at the bottom if there's a hill you should be able to get up!
Mountains become steep through a combination of tectonic forces, erosion, and other geologic processes. Tectonic movements can uplift large landmasses, creating steep slopes. Erosion by rivers, glaciers, and other natural processes can further sculpt mountains into steep terrain over time.
Most mountains have slopes, but some aren't very steep.
Creep occurs on steep mountains.
No, shield volcanoes are not steep mountains. They have gently sloping sides due to the relatively low viscosity of the lava that flows from them, which allows the lava to spread out and create a wide, shield-like shape.
No. It has it all: from steep mountains to hilly terrain to flat lands.
Mount Everest (pronounced "Eve-Rest", by the way, as that's how the man after whom the mountain was named pronounced his name...) is a "big" mountain that rises more gradually than some other mountains, thus it reaches it height less abruptly, especially compared to some of the surrounding land. It's average grade, at least in the upper half of it, is only about 23% - compared to very steep mountains like the world's second highest, K2 in the Karakoram Mountains of Pakistan, which has an average grade of nearly 45%, Everest seems not so steep.
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a steep slope or ridge. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope.
