My hypothesis is that south facing slopes will be steeper. The factors affecting steepness and shape of valley side slopes are: * Climate. * Regolith amount * Human Activity. The direction slopes face can influence steepness and slope of valley sides e.g. chalklands of southern England, north facing differ from south facing, because the north facing side is in the shade leading to less evaporation and a wetter slope. Wetter slopes are more unstable due to lubrication from water and the water weight in the rock. Meaning slumping is likelier producing a distinctive profile and overall less steep slope angle.
