Geography | Slope of the land surface, roughly determined by and approximately conforming with the direction and the angle of dip of the underlying rocks. Source: European Union. (references) |
Mining | A. S. Wales. A slope with the stalls branching off and working the seam with back slips along the face b. In geology, the less sloping side of a ridge. Contrasted with escarpment, or steeper slope; esp., the slope more nearly parallel with the strata. Also called structural plain c. The term is used where the angle of dip of the underlying rocks is somewhat divergent from the angle of the land surface. The slope at the back of a scarp; e.g., the gentler slope of a cuesta or of a fault block. It may be unrelated to the dip of the underlying rocks. Also spelled: backslope e.g., the gentler slope of a cuesta or of a fault block. It may be unrelated to the dip of the underlying rocks. Also spelled: backslope. (references) |
