Q1

Scientists are studying different cliff faces and how their rates of erosion are affected by the slope of the rock formation. Meredith wants to come up with a way to extend the amount of time that it takes for a cliff face to be completely eroded. What can Meridith recommend doing after reviewing the relationship between slope and erosion rate in the table below?

Scientists are studying different cliff faces and how their rates of erosion are affected by the slope of the rock formation. DJ thinks that the steeper the cliff, the higher or faster the rate of erosion will be. Matt says it will be the opposite, that the steeper the cliff is, the lower or slower the rate of erosion will be. They know gravity pulls rocks down, and this will have an effect on the cliff's erosion rate. Based on the data chart below, who is correct, and why?
