The continually dropping slope helps explain why northern Greenland, unlike Antarctica, has no large subglacial lakes: Meltwater that either forms at the base of Greenland's ice sheet or ends up there after draining from the ice sheet's upper surface flows away uninterrupted.
It's a small hill, and while it doesn't have the vertical drop of slopes in Jackson, it's fun skiing.
Removing the thermodynamics-based calibration model of probe properties causes the performance of the Abdueva et al. model [4] to degrade; its R2 dropped to 0.843 and slope dropped to 0.53.
He'd extended his arms, very tender, happy, warm — the husband who wants to hug his wife and then take her to bed and croon damp words in her ear, small encouragements, as if she were an animal in need of guidance, liable to shy away at the more demanding drops and slopes and jumps.
This model is significantly better (P < 0.0001, likelihood ratio test) than the model that drops random slopes.
Other than losing the benefit of that portion of the exercise (and making lots of noise in the gym), you risk crushing your shins if the bar suddenly rolls toward you because of the drop or a slope on the gym floor.
The study site is, as are many leeward sites on Curaçao, characterized by a shallow terrace (50-100 m wide) that slopes down to 8-12 m, followed by a steep drop-off with a slope extending down to a deep terrace at 50-60 m depth [ 52].
When the slope drops away, you "glide" down the zipline.
Where the sides are not cliffs, wooded slopes drop steeply.
The slope dropped west to a weeping willow along a brook.
