0 a surface that lies at an angle to the horizontal so that some points on it are higher than others -- 斜坡
There are some nice gentle (= not steep) slopes that we can ski down. 那儿有一些我们可以滑雪的缓坡。
There's a very steep slope just before you reach the top of the mountain. 在你就要到达山顶之前要经过一个陡坡。
Snow had settled on some of the higher slopes. 雪堆积在一些较高的山坡上。
The roof is at a slope (= at an angle to a horizontal surface) of 30°. 屋顶有30°的坡度。
1 to be at an angle to the horizontal -- 斜坡
In prolongation of axis, but without connecting to it, there is a tiny axial ridge inconspicuously marked on anterior slope of medial posterior border.
The rapid accumulation of sediments and steep accretionary foresets also induces slope instability and provides a source for sandy debris flows.
88 the petrographic composition of the lithic wackes were ascribed to deposition in an oceanic trench or an immature slope basin.
Conversely, the outer ramp and upper slope of the clinoform is marked by abundant autochthonous red algae and large benthic foraminifers.
However, the blocks were found in close association with one another on a small patch of slope.
Note the pervasive matrix recrystallization (microspar), and the general increase in grain size towards the upper slope.
Clinoform geometries (shape, slope, height and lateral extent) and clinofacies (sedimentary structure, original fabric and components) can be considered as unaltered.
Survival across months showed an overall negative slope for the survival of each species with time of exposure in the field (figs 3 and 4).
