How can one tell if a slope is steep or gentle?
looking at it
What is the definitions of cues?
A ridge of limestone with a steep slope and a gentle slope on the other side
How can you determine whether the contour on a tropographic map show a gradual slope?
You can tell if a landform has a steep or gentle slope by looking at it. If the hill is small, it is not steep. A steep slope would be at more of an incline.
What is the name of a geological ridge characterized by a gentle slope facing a steep slope?
A geological ridge characterized by a gentle slope facing a steep slope is known as an anticline. It is a type of fold in rock formations where the layers of rock arch upward, creating a gentle slope on one side (the crest) and a steeper slope on the opposite side.
What is the definition of cues ta?
A ridge of limestone with a steep slope and a gentle slope on the other side
If Contour lines are close together the land has a gentle slope?
The closer the contours, the steeper the slope.
What is another name for a gentle slope?
Glacis - a slope, especially one that is not very long or steep
Do steep hills erode faster than gentle hills?
Steep Hill Erodes Faster. The Water Picks Up Speed And More Energy To Wear Away The Earth. Generally, hills will be steep because they are made of resistant rock; whereas gentle hills will have that shape because they are made of rock that is easily eroded. Hence steep hills will not necessarily erode faster than gentle ones. However, if a hill is steep because it has recently been formed by tectonic activity, and it comprises soft rock, it will erode faster than a more gentle hill of the same material.
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a?
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
What is a gentle slope?
When the contour lines are farther apart, this means that the slopes between them are gentle. On the other side, if the contour interval is smaller, the slope will be steep.
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
No, contour lines that are spaced close together on a map indicate a steep slope, while contour lines spaced widely apart indicate a gentle 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
