Question

The steepest angle that a slope can maintain without losing its stability is known as the
(Points : 3)
       angle of repose
       shear angle
       angle of resistance

joannablackwelder · Answer

Angle of repose See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_wasting

joannablackwelder · Answer

Assuming it is a cohesionless slope.

An upper stage river would be characterized by
(Points : 3)
       steep gradient
       slow moving water
       many tributaries
       all of the above

Not even a thank you before the next question? Can I hear a little gratitude?

TY SIR

I think it is steep gradient based on this webpage. Not my expertise... http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080207105747AAgxeC9

Areas of high vulnerability to stream erosion are

       polar areas with seasonal rainfall
       mountainous regions with high rainfall
       flat areas with high rainfall
       temperate areas with intermittent rainfall

joannablackwelder · Answer

High rainfall combined with steeps slopes sounds like mudslides to me, so that sounds like pretty drastic erosion to me.

joannablackwelder · Answer

Just a guess, though.
