This slide illustrates the
two major portions of a concave slope that include the upper eroding portion. |
|
A slope length to the upper
edge of the deposition area can be used to compute soil loss on the eroding
portion of the hillslope. |
|
The entire slope length can
be used to compute erosion on the eroding portion, deposition on the
depositional portion, and sediment yield and sediment characteristics for the
sediment delivered from the slope. |
