Question 1

slope

Answer 1

inclined surface

Question 2

factors affecting slopes : climate

Answer 2

freeze-thaw can destabilise slope, heavy rain = swell rivers, ring generates surface erosion

Question 3

factors affecting slopes : rock type

Answer 3

hard rocks = stable slops

soft rocks = unstable

Question 4

factors affecting slopes : aspect

Answer 4

south facing = freeze-thaw

north facing = asymmetric slops

Question 5

factors affecting slopes : humans

Answer 5

destabilise = grazing, vechile vibrations, deforestation
