What is the difference between slope and angle?
1 Answers
Slope refers to the degree of inclination of one straight line (or plane) relative to another straight line (or plane). Gradient is a measure of the steepness of a terrain unit, usually expressed as the ratio of the vertical height (h) of the slope to the horizontal distance (l), denoted by the letter 'i'. Additional information: 1. Slope concept: It indicates the inclination of one straight line (or plane) relative to another straight line (or plane), measured by the tangent of the angle between the two lines (or planes). 2. Gradient concept: It is typically defined as the ratio of the vertical height (h) of the slope to the horizontal distance (l) of the slope.
