stepan [7]

Answer:

A. Weathering, vegetation covering, and water influence the stability of a slope.

Explanation:

  • As water tends to flow down by the act of gravity the flow of the water down the slope will make the unconsolidated sediments to flow down the slope and thereby making the slope more prone to weathering and not stabilization it hence the flow tends to move down the rocks, silt and loose particles and thus making it me prone to weathering and erosion.
  • <u>Thus the flowage of the matter will create more impacts on the slope angle and width as it will spread more faster and extensively.</u>
