Several short cracks were opened along the slope dips from the top to the middle flanks.
The opposite slopes of the canyon have identical regional evolutionary history, geology, and soil type [32], [61], but they differ in topography (the "African" south facing slope dips 35°, the "European" north facing slope dips 25°).
The opposite slopes of the canyon have identical regional evolutionary history, geology, and soil type [4], [34], but they differ in topography (the south-facing "African" slope dips 35°; the north-facing "European" slope dips 25°).
Relationships between several environmental factors (e.g. bedrock classes, surface deposits, elevation, slope, aspect, dip, dip orientation and relation between dip and slope) and land use changes were appraised.
Coverbed deposits consisting of volcanic ash and colluvium are deep (>1 m) and well preserved on localised gently sloping dip slopes but are shallow (<0.5 m) and skeletal on the predominant steeper slopes.
The northern slopes dip moderately, while the southern faces are typically near-vertical cliffs where the rocks fractured counter to the layered grain.
Employing the same sort of sensory feedback loops that the human nervous system uses, plus a library of known patterns, the PowerFoot adjusts for slopes, dips its toe naturally when walking down stairs, even hangs casually when the user crosses his or her legs.
The geological formations are dipping into the same direction as the slope, so dip slope or anaclinical conditions apply.
The uplands have a short, steep western slope and dip gently eastward.
In her beloved Cairngorms, Nan Shepherd celebrated each slope and dip rather than worshipping the isolated lofty peak.
