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.
m = 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.
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 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.
One side of a sand dune is typically steeper and has a more gradual slope because of the prevailing wind direction. As wind blows sand grains up the windward side, they accumulate and settle, creating a gentler slope. Meanwhile, the leeward side of the dune is often steeper as the sand grains are more likely to slide down and form a sharper incline.
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.
