Concave slope is characterized by which pattern from bottom to top?

• A. Gentle at the bottom, steep at the top
• B. Steep at the bottom, gentle at the top
• C. Uniform slope
• D. No slope

Answer: (A)

A concave slope is one where the incline increases as you move upward. From bottom to top, you’d start with a gentle grade and progressively become steeper toward the top, which matches the pattern of being gentle at the bottom and steep at the top. A uniform slope would stay the same angle all along, a completely flat slope has no slope, and the pattern of steep at the bottom with gentler top reflects a different curvature (convex) rather than concave.
