What is a another name for slope?
Glacis - a slope, especially one that is not very long or steep
Why do gentle slopes have more widely spaced lines than steep slopes?
Presumably the questions refer to contour lines. If that is the case, the answer is as follows: Contour lines are lines drawn at selected heights on a map. They are lines that join points at the same height above the meas sea level. A gentle slope is one that does not rise (or fall) as rapidly as a steep slope. That is to say, you have to travel a greater horizontal distance to gain (lose) the same amount of vertical distance or height. So, with a gentle slope, you have to travel a greater distance to get from one contour to the next and so the lines are less close together.

What characteristics of the slope makes a line steep or flat?
Well, in the formula mx+b, m is the slope. So in y=2x-3, the slope is 2, otherwise meaning that every time x changes by one y changes by 2. Hope this helps! :)
How can you tell the difference between a graph in which one variable is directly proportional to another and a graph in which two variables vary inversely?
1. You can tell the difference because the proportional one has the same slope while the inversely one has opposite reciprocal slope.

Why does contour lines that show a steep cliff look different from contour lines that show a gentle slope?
one thing is that the countour lines that are steep cliff are more curved to the left side and the other ones the ones that show a gentle slope are curved to the right side
How much slope from one inlet to other?
You need a steep slope from one inlet to another.
What part of a sand dune is characterized by a gentle slope?
A sand dune is a desert feature that forms as a result of wind or rain action towards one side. The sand dune usually forms towards the dominant side of the wind direction and can vary in gradient.

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,
What is concave slope?

How do you predict a possible avalanche and what to do if caught in one?
Usually an avalanche occurs after fresh snow on a steep slope. and as for what to do in one, sorry i dont have info on that -Trevor
