Erosion can take place in the form of rain splash and slope wash.

For instance, the rock shelter does not act as a pit trap and none of the archaeological sediments are slope wash.

It hung back in the gently sloping wash and parted in two fleshy lips along its top, exposed section.

Slope wash (overland flow) is particularly evident in sparsely vegetated dune slopes.

Slope wash occurs when rainfall infiltration is impeded, which can result in rills and alluvial fans.

Wind erosion and slope wash exposing flakes and bones at Paleo Inuit site.

Pluvial processes dominate the geomorphology of grey dunes, with rain splash and slope wash being the most common processes taking place.

The slope wash, wettened when the reservoir was high, gave way when the only force that was holding it in place, the weight of the water itself, receded.

Agricultural structures are not found in the main lower canyon, and no formalized fields are found in the main canyon because of alleviation and slope wash burying (Long, 66).

The remains of the fort are now heavily mutilated and defaced and have been damaged by the building of the tower and mausoleum; by erosion from the provision of access roads; by root damage, animal burrowing and slope wash.

The foothills and eastern flanks of the range are composed largely of poorly consolidated Pliocene-Quaternary freshwater and shallow marine sediments that include the Colma and Merced Formations, recent slope wash, ravine fill, colluvium, and alluvium.
