How are contour lines shown for a gentle slope?
Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
How can one tell if a slope is steep or gentle?
looking at it

What if your truck weighs 3500 kg you drive up a gentle slope that is 5kg long At the top of the slope you are 200m higher in elevation then when you started with no friction what was the force?
14000N is the correct answer
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.

What is another name for a gentle slope?
A gentle slope is also known as a gradual incline or a slight gradient.
What is the name of a geological ridge characterized by a gentle slope facing a steep slope?
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.
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.
What is the definitions of cues?
A ridge of limestone with a steep slope and a gentle slope on the other side
Why is it difficult to climb a vertical slope than a gentle slope?
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.

How do the contour lines on a topographic map indicate the slope of land?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
What is the slope for the shield volcano?
A shield volcano has very broad, gentle slopes.
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a?
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
