the slope which the direction of the wind blows.
then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
Examples of slope: http://www.answers.com/topic/slope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope
Yes, it is true; slope zero is no slope.
X=5 is a vertical line, so it has no slope. When I say it has no slope, I don't mean the slope is 0, I mean the slope is nonexistent.
m = slope
Tokyo is in leeward slope.
yes
the windward slope is wetter. the leeward slope is drier. source: geosystems sixth edition by christopherson, page 213 by: josephine
its either on a slip face, crest, windward slope, or any area of a dune
role in formation of sand dunes (in sand dune: Formation and growth of dunes)...sand brought up the windward slope. When this depositional slope is steepened to the angle of repose of dry sand (about 32°), this angle is maintained and the added sand slips down the slope or slip face. When this happens, the dune form is in equilibrium, and the dune moves forward as a whole, sand being eroded from the windward side and deposited on the lee.
The windward side of a sand dune is generally gentler and more gradual, while the leeward side is steeper. This steep slope on the leeward side, often referred to as the slip face, forms as sand is deposited on the windward side and then cascades down the leeward side due to gravity. As a result, the leeward side typically has a more pronounced angle of repose compared to the windward side.
The difference is that windward gets more rain, is wetter, and is the side of the mountain that is closest to the ocean. On the other hand the leeward is the farthest from shore and is drier but still gets rain.
A sediment deposit called a windward slope forms when sediment is blown against an obstacle and settles behind it. This deposit is characterized by a gradual slope facing into the prevailing wind direction.
In general, most dunes have a windward side and a leeward side. The windward side is the side on which wind strikes the dune, leeward is the opposite side. The force of the wind will affect the sand on the windward side differently from the leeward side.
The ships drifted west, leaving the island quite a distance to windward. Cut her slightly more to windward, bosun. We'll round this buoy to windward.
windward windward windward
The prevailing winds will force the clouds to climb when they reach the mountain range. As the clouds rise they drop their moisture. So the windward side of the mountain will get rain, and the leeward side of the mountain will be drier.
