Description: Slope represents the rate of change of elevation (gradient or steepness) and is represented by a raster surface. The lower the slope value, the flatter the terrain; the higher the slope value, the steeper the terrain. The inclination of slope is calculated in degrees. The values range from 0 to 90.
Slope was calculated for the state based on the greatest resolution elevation data available (including Lidar where it exists).
Description: Slope represents the rate of change of elevation (gradient or steepness) and is represented by a raster surface. The values are integer and represent the angle of the downward sloping terrain (0 to 90 degrees). The lower the slope value, the flatter the terrain; the higher the slope value, the steeper the terrain.
