What is the slope if the base is 60 inches wide and 40 inches high?
Slope = Height/Base = 40/60 = 2/3
How do you find the base of a triangle if you know height and slope?
You cannot since the information is not sufficient. Furthermore, a triangle does not normally have a slope.
What is a large pile of debris that forms at the base of a slope?
Scree or Talus .
How do you find the slope of a line on a xy coordinate plane?
Form a right angle triangle under the slope and divide the base of the triangle into the height of the triangle.
What is the definition of slope?
Slope is the steepness of a line. From my high school math days, I remember that slope equals rise over run. Think of the sloping line as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and the base is sitting on the x-coordinate. Rise is the length of the vertical leg of the triangle, and run is the length of the horizontal leg. Do the division, rise divided by run, and you have a measure of the slope. You might have to pay careful attention to positives and negatives. If it's a straight line you don't have to worry about how long you make the base; the ratio (the answer to a division problem) will be the same.
What slope base does a Shield volcano have?
huge gently slopes
Which volcano has base slop of -2 ans summit slope of -10?
8
Why is the slope more gentle at the base of a mesa?
A mesa is, in general, an area of flat-topped land with fairly steeply sloped sides. As the sides of a mesa weather and erode, material will accumulate along the base of the slopes. This will decrease the steepness of the slope at the base.
Determine whether the graphs of the equations are parallelperpendicular or neither?
Base on the slope of two linear equations (form: y = mx+b, where slope is m): - If slopes are equal, the 2 graphs are parallel - If the product of two slopes equals to -1, the 2 graphs are perpendicular. If none of the above, then the 2 graphs are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
What is the antonym of summit?
Base, bottom, or level ground. Those are antonyms of summit.
What is The opposite of summit?
base
Is the summit of a mountain found at its base or at its top?
The summit of the mountain is at the top.
How do you get from the base of the mountain to the summit?
In a helicopter.
Is the air pressure at the summit or the base of a mountain?
base of a mountain
What is a word for the base of a mountain?
Generally it would be the "base" of a mountain or hill, although in the case of a mountain at the base there might be foothills, which are smaller hills or mountains surrounding a taller hill or mountain, and of course there might be a valley or canyon nearby. Some mountains also have names for slopes, which might be named after cardinal directions or wind (north slope, windward slope, etc.).
What are the types of volcano?
There are four main types of volcanoes, namely Shield Volcanoes, Composite Volcanoes, Cinder Cones and Acid-lava Volcano. Shield Volcanoes: * Large base area * Gentle slope * Contains basic lava * Frequent eruptions * Quiet and gentle eruptions * Very tall in height due to large base area Composite Volcanoes: * Relatively small base area * Concave slope * Contains acidic lava * Violent eruptions * Repeated eruptions * Erupts from the side cones * Usually not very tall in height due to gentle slopes Acid-lava Volcanoes * Small base area * Steep slope * Contains acidic lava * Violent eruptions * Creates crater lakes (caldera) after eruptions * Tall in height due to steep slopes Cinder Cones * Small base area * Steep slopes * Symmetrical slopes * Moderate eruptions * Not tall in height as slopes are easily eroded
What are the similarities and differences between the types of volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes have fluid basaltic flows that are lower in silicates, making the lava very fluid without a tendency to form pyroclastics. Composite Cone volcanoes contain the highest percentage of silica content making the magma thicker with the greatest tendency to form pyroclastics and are the most dangerous volcanoes.
