How is a regolith slope formed?
Rock that forms at the foot of a cliff forms regolith slope.
Steeper lines have a?
larger slope if positive and a smaller slope if negative
What happens to the slope when a line with positive slope gets close to vertical?
it gets larger
Why would a farmer plant crops perpendicular to the slope of a hill?
To help prevent erosion.
Where did slope forms originate?

What is the erosion by running water in a small channel on the side of a slope is called?
The erosion by running water in a small channel on the side of a slope is called rill erosion. It occurs when water flows in small rivulets and creates narrow channels on the slope, carrying soil and sediment downslope. Rill erosion can contribute to larger forms of erosion like gullies if left unchecked.
What erosion creates small channels of running water on the side of a slope?
Rill erosion creates small channels of running water on the side of a slope. It occurs when rainfall or snowmelt flows down a slope, picking up soil particles and creating small, narrow channels. Rill erosion can lead to further soil erosion if left unchecked.
What type of erosion creates small channels of running water on the side of a slope?
Rill erosion is the type of erosion that creates small channels of running water on the side of a slope. This type of erosion is common in areas with steep slopes and causes the formation of small rivulets that carry away soil particles. It can eventually lead to gully erosion if not addressed.
Rill and gully erosion are caused by .?
water runnoff
What is the different between rills gullies and streams?
Rills are small channels formed by flowing water on a slope, gullies are larger and deeper channels typically caused by erosion, and streams are larger bodies of moving water that can support aquatic life and flow towards a larger body of water like a river or ocean.
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 a tiny groove in soil formed by runoffs?
A 'rill' is a collection of small channels on a slope caused by erosion. Each tiny groove is called a 'channel.'
Are landslide and coastal erosion the same?
in a way because landslides are when rocks or earth or debris move down a slope. a mudslide is a fast moving landslide that flows in channels
How does changing the slope of the stream table produce different results?
Changing the slope of the stream table affects the speed and direction of water flow. A steeper slope creates faster water flow, which can result in more erosion and deposition. Conversely, a flatter slope slows down water flow, leading to less erosion and deposition. These changes in flow dynamics can cause differences in the shape and size of channels, as well as the amount and distribution of sediment carried by the water.
What does slow erosion mean?
erosion is when the rock or soil falls and make a slope
What is the flattening of a slope on a hill to prevent erosion?
flattening of slope is generally a method of cutting the hill slope in the shape of steps. these steps being horizontal instead of slopey is better to check erosion.
How can erosion be reduced on steep slopes?
Erosion on steep slopes can be reduced by implementing erosion control measures such as planting vegetation, using erosion control blankets, building retaining walls or terraces, and diverting water away from the slope with channels or drains. These measures help to stabilize the soil and prevent it from being washed away by rainfall or runoff.
