1. Crest AND Soil creep

2. Deposition

3. Head ward erosion of the escarp slope makes the area where the debris falls, wider.

4.

 At B the slope is extremely steep, with hard resistant rocks and excessive
erosion makes it impossible for vegetation to grow here

 At C the slopes are gentler and with the deposition of more fertile soil, the area is ideal for
vegetation to grow

5.

 Too steep for cultivation due to excessive erosion and hard resistant rocks

 Can be used for recreation activities like abseiling and rock climbing
