SLOPES<br />
• Material is constantly mov<strong>in</strong>g downslope <strong>in</strong> response to<br />
gravity. Movement can be very slow, barely perceptible<br />
over many years.<br />
• Or, movement can be devastat<strong>in</strong>gly rapid, apparent with<strong>in</strong><br />
m<strong>in</strong>utes. Whether or not slope movement occurs depends<br />
on slope steepness and slope stability.<br />
SLOPE PROFILE<br />
• Some slopes are gently rounded, while others are<br />
extremely steep. Pro<strong>file</strong>s of naturally-eroded slopes are<br />
primarily dependent on climate and rock type.<br />
