Elements of slopes
Crest -top of hill, convex in shape, limited movement by soil creep. Scarp(free face, cliff) -almost vertical rock outcrop Talus/scree(debris)slope- uniform slope at foot of talus. Angle determined by materials . Angle remains constant. Debris accumulates. Pediment- low angle at foot of talus /gentle slope before the scree, erode rock surface, thin covering
