Beyond were green, gently-sloping fields but very few trees, all of which seemed to be small pines, leaning over at an angle to the left.

These species occur on gently-sloping sand and gravel shorelines lower in the watershed.

Effusive eruptions build up gently-sloping volcanoes like the ones in Hawaii.

The scout moved as water does on a rough, gently-sloping surface: without haste or certain direction, but inexorably.

The battlefield was a gently-sloping hill a few miles from the Rhine, partly fields with ripe wheat.

Its habitat also includes mesic pine savannahs on flat or gently-sloping terrain.

Another proposed cause is that the echolocation system used by many whales can have difficulty picking up very gently-sloping coastlines.

She saw a gently-sloping ramp off to her right--fenced off by a big barred gate.

At the bottom of a gully with gently-sloping sides, a few strands of barbed wire crossed the creek.

The two valleys have abundant level and gently-sloping land with fair to good soil development, and abundant groundwater.

Flat coasts can be formed either as a result of the sea advancing into gently-sloping terrain or through the abrasion of loose rock.

In contrast to the relatively gently-sloping decent on the eastern side of the plateau, the decent on the western side is steep.

All those short and gently-sloping meadows ended in piles of jumbled rock at the base of rocky slopes that would have taxed a mountain sheep.

The attack continued but from about 12:15 to about 14:15 they pressed more and more slowly, as little by little the cordon slowly drew tighter under intense fire over the bare, gently-sloping grasslands.
