  1. well one important thing about a slope is that it will cause water to travel in the direction that is tilted downwards.

    eventually erosion will cause water to dig out its own paths in the dirt and you will get valleys and streams and rivers.

    a slope will affect things that grow in a place, because plants with roots that dig into the soil and keep it in place will be able to grow, but plants that do not have that kind of root would depend on other plants to hold them in place.  I sort of made that up so you might not want to take it very seriously though!

    a slope can affect the amount of sunlight a place gets.  If there's a mountain with a north side and a south side, in the northern hemisphere the south side would get a lot more sun and the north side would be in the dark a lot more, and be damper.  So you'd probably get a different plant and animal ecology there (well, before humans decided to farm it or whatever.)

    There are even one little town in the Alps or someplace far north I read about recently that has so far been sunless for many months of the winter, and people are making a plan to put up some mirrors and reflect some sunlight down the mountainside into the town so they will get more sun.

    Also if you have Roller Derby it is important to have a slope so that the little soapbox cars can get a better acceleration.  This applies to bicycle rides as well.  Going up a slope, a little boy or girl has to pedal much harder, but going down a slope, the child can coast joyously through the breeze, achieving a thrilling pace with little effort if the slope is steep.  Planning ahead for the path on the way is important.  Some routes that were once very exciting for bicycle rides now are spoiled by the presence of a four way stop sign that was installed by mayer William Hudnut of Indianapolis.
