Water is one of the most important erosive forces. A great number of factors also play a role in erosion process
and slope characteristic is also one of them. The steepness and length of the slope are important factors for
runoff and soil erosion. Another slope factor that has an effect on erosion is the shape of the slope. Generally,
different erosion and runoff characteristics exist in different slopes which can be classified as uniform, concave,
convex and complex shape. In this study, the effects of slope shape on erosion are stated and emphasized by
taking similar researches into consideration.
