Slope
Processes and development
Mass
movement
Is the
movement of weathered material down a slope under gravity.
The
slope is a system with inputs, outputs and flows. It has exogenetic factors (external factors) and endogenetic
factors (internal factors).
The
slope as an open system
Humid
climate slopes: Convex and concave slope segments (convex, concave,
convex, concave formation).
Arid
climates slopes: Resistant
jointed vertical rock slope, then a gentler slope with regolith in a concave
shape with boulders, mostly rock fall occurs.
Slopes near fault lines: Fault block
