Concave and Convex Slopes Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4429
The Concave and Convex Slopes Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4429) is a geography model of two basic slope forms. A convex slope is terrain rounded outward like the exterior of a sphere, while a concave slope is rounded inward like the inside of a bowl. Students learn to recognise both on the ground and on contour maps, where the spacing of contour lines shows the shape. JaincoLab makes this slopes model for school geography rooms and college map-work teaching.
