Slope Processes

Slope processes are natural mechanisms that shape and change the landscape of hills and mountains over time. They include things like erosion, where water, wind, or ice wear away rock and soil; weathering, which breaks down rocks into smaller pieces; and mass wasting, where material moves down the slope due to gravity, such as landslides. These processes work together to gradually alter the shape of the land, influenced by climate, geology, and vegetation. Understanding slope processes helps in predicting landslides, managing land use, and assessing natural hazards.
