Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the 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.
To show a gentle slope from a steep slope, you can use a visual representation, such as a graph or diagram, where the steep slope transitions gradually into a more gradual incline. This can be achieved by illustrating a curve that starts steep and then flattens out, indicating a decrease in the angle of ascent. Additionally, you can use descriptive language to convey the change in steepness, emphasizing the smooth transition and the gradual reduction in elevation.
A uniform slope refers to a consistent angle of incline or decline across a surface, where the steepness remains the same throughout. In contrast, a uniform gentle slope implies a less steep incline, typically characterized by a gradual rise or fall. While both maintain a consistent gradient, the key difference lies in the steepness, with gentle slopes being easier to traverse and often more suitable for various activities like walking or biking.

Glacis - a slope, especially one that is not very long or steep
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.
A steep slope, due to the velocity of the water/runoff.

Gravity is always pulling objects down so when you climb upward gravity weighs you down, you have to use effort to move yourself in the oposite direction that gravity is pulling you that is why it is harder to climb up a slope. When you climb a gentle slope you still are using energy but it takes longer to reach the same height on a gentle slope versus a verticle slope. On a verticle slope you are climbing higher instead of farther so on each step gravity weighs you down much more than on a gentle slope. When climbing a gentle slope you don't rise as rapidly so gravity doesn't take as much of a toll on you and you have a chamce to recover.

If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
What kind of good has a steep slope?
A shield volcano has very broad, gentle slopes.
