What is talus slope and how is it formed?
Talus slopes are broken rocks formed by gravity and the convergent boundary. Ex: Devils Lake Gorge.
Material that collects at the foot of a steep slope or cliff is called?
Talus
What is another word for sloping hill?
Incline, slope, gradient, talus...
What is a large pile of debris that forms at the base of a slope?
Scree or Talus .
What material making up a scree slope is called?
The material making up a scree slope is called "scree" or "talus." It consists of loose rock fragments that have fallen from a cliff or steep slope, typically due to weathering and erosion processes. These angular pieces of rock accumulate at the base of the slope, forming a steeply angled deposit. Scree slopes are often unstable and can shift or move due to gravity and other environmental factors.
A sloping mass of rock fragments below a cliff called?
Weathered rock fragments at the bottom of a hill are called scree. Scree formation is commonly attributed to the formation of ice within mountain rock slopes.
What is talus?
Talus is rock debris at the bottom of a slope.
Which type of mass wasting produces a talus slope?
fall

Where would you expect to find talus?
You would expect to find talus at the base of a cliff or steep slope. Talus consists of loose, fragmented rock debris that has accumulated from the erosion of the cliff or slope above. It often forms a slope of angular rocks and boulders created by gravity pulling the rock fragments downhill.

A pile of rock fragments at the base of a cliff is called a?
This may be known as a scree slope or a talus pile. Talus and scree are normally used interchangeably, however scree normally refers to material of gravel size or smaller and talus to larger debris.
What is a talus field and how is it formed?
A talus field is a sloping accumulation of broken rock fragments at the base of a cliff or slope. It is formed by the process of rockfalls and landslides, where gravity causes rocks to dislodge and tumble down the slope, eventually creating a pile of rubble at the base. Over time, the talus field can provide habitats for plants and animals adapted to this rocky environment.
What type of mass movement would produce talus slope?
A talus slope is formed by the accumulation of rock fragments that have fallen off a steep rock face due to weathering and gravity. This mass movement is known as rockfall or cliff collapse.
