1. L.O: STUDENTS WILL CALCULATE THE GRADIENT (SLOPE) OF A LANDSCAPE.
Do now: .

2. gradient (“slope”) is how tilted a landscape is.

3. mountains & hills have steep GRADIENTS (steep slopes)

4. plains & low hills have a gentle gradient (slope).

5. the gradient of the slope (how “tilted” it is) can be calculated.

6. Gradient: the measure of slope.

7. Here’s the gradient formula in the ESRT!
You are now responsible for it!

8. This is the gradient formula:
Change in field value
Gradient =
distance

9. Find the gradient between points: X and Y, using the gradient formula.

10. This is the gradient formula:
Change in field value
1.Gradient =
distance
2.Gradient =
3.Gradient =

11. 380 meters- 300 meters
Gradient =
2 km

12. 80 meters
Gradient =
2 km

13. 40 meters/Km
Gradient =
