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.

How is a regolith slope formed?
Rock that forms at the foot of a cliff forms regolith slope.
Steeper lines have a?
larger slope if positive and a smaller slope if negative
What happens to the slope when a line with positive slope gets close to vertical?
it gets larger
Why would a farmer plant crops perpendicular to the slope of a hill?
To help prevent erosion.
Where did slope forms originate?
Linear Parent Function
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.
What is a tiny groove in soil formed by runoffs?
A 'rill' is a collection of small channels on a slope caused by erosion. Each tiny groove is called a 'channel.'
Are landslide and coastal erosion the same?
in a way because landslides are when rocks or earth or debris move down a slope. a mudslide is a fast moving landslide that flows in channels
What happens to the rate of stream erosion As slope increases?
as slope increases erosion rate increases (direct relationship)
What does slow erosion mean?
erosion is when the rock or soil falls and make a slope
How does runoff impact erosion?
runoff is what causes erosion, because as the water runs down the slope it carries with it the particles of material that form the slope
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.
What factors contribute to erosion?

What is the flattening of a slope on a hill to prevent erosion?
flattening of slope is generally a method of cutting the hill slope in the shape of steps. these steps being horizontal instead of slopey is better to check erosion.
What factor is most likely to affect the amount of erosion done by a stream?
The slope or gradient of the stream is the most likely factor to affect the amount of erosion. Steeper slopes result in higher velocities, which in turn increase the erosive power of the stream. A steeper slope also allows the stream to carry larger sediment and potentially cause more erosion.
How is a regolith slope formed?
Rock that forms at the foot of a cliff forms regolith slope.
What happens to the rate of erosion when the slope is increased?
Erosion increases due to the effective gravitational gradient.
