slope angle
Hillside tilt measurement
The angle at which a surface deviates from horizontal, typically measured in degrees.
In skiing and mountaineering, slope angle determines difficulty and avalanche risk: The slope angle exceeded thirty degrees, making it prone to slides.
In engineering and geology, it describes the steepness of embankments, hillsides, or constructed surfaces.
