Document Summary
Hill slope area between a river channel and the top of a ridge. How a slope is formed in the first place determined by steepness of a slope and height of a slope. Hill slope can be sheer vertical rock cliff. Mountains are sediment transfer systems erosion transports this debris and a lot accumulates a lot at the bottom of the slope, thus the slope morphology changes over time. Process form response system certain things happen the morphology changes and the morphology changes process and rates of processes thus the form changes and evolves differently. Process regime process that move material and how they work on a slope very dependent on material type (erodibility) Dependent of water in soil and water flowing over a surface. Mass movement processes mass transfer of a movement of material soil/rock down the slope under its own weight on the ground (any landslide) Mass movement - any material that moves spontaneously on a slope.
