The steepness of a water table's slope is know as its?
Hydraulic gradient
Type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope?
The type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope is called gully erosion. Gully and rill erosion are the dominant types of water erosion in the world.
Why is the slope of water negative?
For water the line has a negative slope (vs carbon dioxide). This explains why ice floats since volume decreases with increasing pressure as we move upward on the phase diagram from solid to liquid water, the volume occupied by H20 decreases and thus water must be increasing in density.
What happens if a slope is undefined?
then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
Can you give me an example of slope inclination?

What is the slope of the water table is called?
Gradient is the steepness of a slope.
What is the slope of the water table called?
Gradient is the steepness of a slope.
What type of slope will erode quicker a gentle slope or a steep slope?
A steep slope, due to the velocity of the water/runoff.
How does the slope of an area affect its runoff?
It really depends on the slope. If it is a steep slope, the runoff will flow downhill faster and collect more at the bottom. If it is a pretty level slope, the runoff won't collect at the bottom of it. The water will just flood the top of the slope.
Explain how slope and flowing water effect water?
If the slope goes down stream, the water speeds up, if up stream the water wil pool and flood until it rises up and over the slope this is not right information if your doing a crossword puzzle from Andale.
who invented slopes?
Slope has always existed. The wind creates sand dunes or water waves which have slopes. Running water cuts valleys out of rock and these have slope. Tectonic movements create mountains which have slope.
What cuts into the continental shelf and slope?
Water!
How does ploughing across a slope of a hill help retain the soil in farm fields?
Plowing across the slope minimizes erosion by inhibiting water's ability to run down the slope. Plowing in the direction of the slope creates channels that water runs down, carrying the valuable topsoil with it.
Water at the top of a slope has potential energy?
Yes.
What is the proper slope for newly installed gutters?
The proper slope for newly installed gutters is 1/4 inch of slope for every 10 feet of gutter. This slope keeps water from standing after a heavy rain.
How did slope affect the time it took for landforms to appear?
Maybe the slope went slower because of the water went slower
How does changing the slope of the stream table produce different results?
Changing the slope of the stream table affects the speed and direction of water flow. A steeper slope creates faster water flow, which can result in more erosion and deposition. Conversely, a flatter slope slows down water flow, leading to less erosion and deposition. These changes in flow dynamics can cause differences in the shape and size of channels, as well as the amount and distribution of sediment carried by the water.
