slope classification systems

Slope classification systems are tools used to categorize land based on its steepness and stability. They help in assessing potential risks like landslides or erosion. Generally, slopes are classified into categories like gentle, moderate, steep, and very steep, depending on their angle. Each category indicates how suitable the slope is for construction, agriculture, or other activities. Understanding these classifications assists engineers, planners, and environmentalists in making informed decisions to ensure safety and sustainability in land use and development.
