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 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.
How does water move on a slope and why does it move in that direction?
Water moves downhill on a slope due to gravity, creating a force that pulls it in that direction. The slope provides a pathway for the water to flow, with the steeper the slope, the faster the water moves. Additionally, the surface tension of water allows it to cling together and form streams or rivulets as it flows downhill.
What is the relationship the steepness of the slope and the speed of the water?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will flow downhill due to gravity pulling it more strongly. A steeper slope provides a greater force that propels the water downstream at a higher velocity.
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.
Does water at the top of a slope has potential energy?
Yes, water at the top of a slope has potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the water flows down the 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.
What is the slope of the water table is called?
The slope of the water table is called the hydraulic gradient. This gradient represents the rate of change in water table elevation over a specific distance. It is an important factor in determining the direction and velocity of groundwater flow.
Water at the top of a slope has potential energy?
Yes.
