What happens if a slope is undefined?
then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
Can you give me an example of slope inclination?

Does a horizontal line has a slope of zero?
Yes, it is true; slope zero is no slope.
What is the slope of a line x equals 5?
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.
What is symbol of slope?
m = slope
Is Tokyo on leeward or windward side?
Tokyo is in leeward slope.
Is erosion control the same on a leeward slope as on windward side?
yes
Does precipitation fall on the leeward side of mountains?
the windward slope is wetter. the leeward slope is drier. source: geosystems sixth edition by christopherson, page 213 by: josephine
Where would you be most likely to observe saltation on a sand dune?
its either on a slip face, crest, windward slope, or any area of a dune
Slip face of a sand 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.
What is rainier windward or leeward?
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.
What forms when sediment is blown against an obstacle and settles behind it?
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.
Why is one side of a sand dune is different from the other side?
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.
What is a sentence for windward?
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.
What side of mountain has lush plant life?
windward windward windward
How does a mountain range in the path of prevailing winds affect precipitation on either side of the mountains?
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.
What is the island east of Martinique?
