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.
Are 4 and -4 the same slope?
8
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.
What is another name for a gentle slope?
Glacis - a slope, especially one that is not very long or steep
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.
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 is a another name for slope?

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.

Is the hill steep or gradual?
To determine if the hill is steep or gradual, one would need to assess its slope. A steep hill has a sharp incline, making it difficult to climb, while a gradual hill has a more gentle slope, allowing for easier ascent. The steepness can often be measured in degrees or by comparing the rise to the run. Without specific measurements or descriptions, it's hard to categorize the hill accurately.
What is a large flat area that rises above and a least one side has a steep slope?
It is a plateau
A large flat area that rises above the surrounding land and one side has a steep slope?
A mesa (:
What is a high steep slope of rock or soil. That is one of the seven great land masses on earth?
A cliff.
What is a steep face of a plateau called?
A steep face of a plateau is called a escarpment. An escarpment is a long, steep slope, especially one at the edge of a plateau or separating areas of land at different heights. It is typically formed by erosion or faulting processes over time.
