Increased slope angles lead to more erosion and soil failure in heavy rain.
Rainfall can cause soil slopes to fail, especially in areas with high rainfall. The angle of the slope affects its stability during rain. A study looked at how slope angle impacts soil erosion during rainfall. They found that steeper slopes lead to more runoff, causing more erosion and the wetting front to rise. A new model was created to predict wetting front movement based on slope angle and water seepage. This research helps us understand how slope angle affects soil erosion during heavy rain.
