What happens to fluid when the slope changes from steep to gentle?
When the slope changes from steep to gentle, the fluid's velocity typically decreases due to the reduced gravitational pull acting on it. As the slope becomes gentler, the fluid experiences less acceleration, leading to a gradual transition in flow dynamics. This can result in increased sediment deposition as the fluid loses its capacity to carry particles, and the overall flow may become more laminar rather than turbulent.
What does steeper mean?
To be more steep. We say "a steep slope" meaning the slope rises at a sharp angle, that is difficult to climb. A wall is steep because it goes straight up.
How does slope look like on a table?
On a table, slope can be represented as the ratio of vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run) between two points on a graph. This is often shown as a fraction, where the numerator indicates how much the value changes vertically and the denominator shows how much it changes horizontally. If plotted on a coordinate system, a steep slope would appear as a steep line, while a gentle slope would appear more horizontal. A negative slope would slope downward from left to right, while a positive slope would slope upward.
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.
How do you compare slopes math wise?
Mathwise, you would want to represent a slope with a number, in such a way that the steeper slope would have a larger number. That way, you could look at the numbers of two or more slopes, and just from the numbers, you could tell mathwise which slope is more steep or less steep, and whether it slopes up or down.
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.
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 do contour lines show steep and gentle?
Contour lines are lines that join up points on a map that represent points on Earth's surface that have equal height. The distance between the contour lines gives an indication of how much the height changes over a horizontal distance. In other words it shows you how steep or gentle the slope is.As such a steep slope will be marked by closely spaced contour lines and a more gentle slope will have more widely spaced contour lines.

How does a contour tour map show whether a slope is gently or steep?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
What is indicated when contour lines are far apart on a topographic map?
When contour lines are far apart on a topographic map, it indicates a gentle slope or flat terrain. The spacing between contour lines represents the steepness of the terrain, with wider spacing indicating a more gradual slope.

What Part of a sand dune is characterized by a pronounced slope?
The upwind direction of a sand dune has a gentle slope. A steep slope is on the downwind side. The pronounced slope of a sand dune is called a slip face. Sand erodes from the wind off the slip face. To learn more about sand dunes, visit http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/geol111/deserts.htm.

The steep continental slope merges into a more gradual incline known as the continental?
The continental rise.
