1. Structurally, the Marlboro Mountains constitute a geologic formation known as a dip slope . 2. The scarp faces north and is steep and wooded, with a south facing dip slope . 3. The dip slope is by definition more gradual, and merges with the landscape to the south east. 4. It is on the dip slope of the South Downs just north of the ridge called Portsdown Hill. 5. In addition, massive slumps are present in the Sespe and Vaqueros Formations on anti-dip slopes . 6. Several small streams are fed by springs on its dip slope , and the Car Dyke intercepts these. 7. Generally, cuestas and homoclinal ridges are asymmetrical in that their dip slopes are less steep than their escarpments. 8. The Cerne Valley is one of several roughly parallel valleys which drain the dip slope of the Dorset Downs. 9. This results in a long and gentle backslope called a dip slope that conforms with the strata, called caprock. 10. "' Codicote "'lies on a chalk ridge on the dip slope of the Chiltern Hills.
