How is a talus cone produced?
A talus cone is produced through the accumulation of rock debris and sediment that has fallen from a steep slope or cliff. This material, often called talus, collects at the base of the slope due to gravity, forming a conical shape as it piles up over time. The angle of repose, which is the steepest angle at which the debris remains stable, influences the cone's slope. Natural processes such as weathering and erosion contribute to the continuous supply of material to maintain the talus cone.
What is the slope if the base is 60 inches wide and 40 inches high?
Slope = Height/Base = 40/60 = 2/3
How do you find the base of a triangle if you know height and slope?
You cannot since the information is not sufficient. Furthermore, a triangle does not normally have a slope.
How do you find the slope of a line on a xy coordinate plane?
Form a right angle triangle under the slope and divide the base of the triangle into the height of the triangle.
What is the definition of slope?
Slope is the steepness of a line. From my high school math days, I remember that slope equals rise over run. Think of the sloping line as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and the base is sitting on the x-coordinate. Rise is the length of the vertical leg of the triangle, and run is the length of the horizontal leg. Do the division, rise divided by run, and you have a measure of the slope. You might have to pay careful attention to positives and negatives. If it's a straight line you don't have to worry about how long you make the base; the ratio (the answer to a division problem) will be the same.
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.
Made from large rocks and protects the base of cliffs?
This description is of a talus slope, which is a pile of broken rocks at the base of a cliff. Talus slopes are formed as rockfall debris accumulates over time. They help reduce erosion at the base of cliffs and provide habitat for plants and animals.
Is the fan-shaped pile of broken rock fragments at the base of a steep bedrock slope or cliff?
The fan-shaped pile of broken rock fragments at the base of a steep bedrock slope or cliff is known as a talus slope or talus cone. This debris results from the weathering and erosion of the bedrock above, where gravity causes the rock fragments to accumulate at the base of the slope.
What Material accumulates at the bottom of a steep slope?
The rock fragments that accumulate at the base if a steep slope are usually known as scree or talus.
How does erosion effect mass wasting?
Erosion can weaken the base of a slope, making it more susceptible to mass wasting events such as landslides or rockfalls. By stripping away supporting material, erosion can increase the likelihood of slope failure. Additionally, erosion can transport material downslope, contributing to the accumulation of debris at the base of the slope and potentially triggering mass wasting.
Is there a base word for debris?
Yes, the base word for debris is "debr-" which comes from the French word "débris" meaning remains or fragments.
During extensive frost wedging a large pile of rocks accumulates at the base of the cliff what is this pile called?
detrital slope

What is the accumulation of rock debris at the base of a cliff called?
The accumulation of rock debris at the base of a cliff is called talus or scree. It forms as a result of weathering and erosion causing rock fragments to break off from the cliff face and accumulate at the bottom.
What lies at the base of the continental slope?
continental rise
What occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates?
A continental rise forms where the continental slope levels off, and sediment accumulates due to gravity transporting sediments downslope from the slope above. This is a gentle accumulation of sediments deposited by turbidity currents, rivers, and other geological processes at the base of the slope.
