Slip Off Slopes
What are Slip-Off
Slopes?
A gentle slope formed as a result
of the deposition
on the inner bank.
How are
Slip-off Slopes formed?
•The sediments removed from the outer
bank are carried forward by the flow of the water
to the inner bank and deposited.
•Deposition occurs because the
friction
between
the inner bank and the water is greater than at the outer bank,
thus reducing its velocity.
•With successive deposition, the water at
the inner bank gets shallower,
resulting in a slip-off slope.
