it is not a good idea to build on a steep slope because the slope might erode or a rockslide might happen!
ReplyDeleteIf you did build on a steep slope you would need to make a HUGE foundation.
Brian B, it is a bad place to build because over time your house will tilt and eventually your house will fall over.
ReplyDeleteBecause it could easily shift.
ReplyDeleteNoah Oh-Yeah
Because they climate and stuff will cause they slope to fall or get steeper. im first
ReplyDeleteits not a good idea to build on a steep slope because it would break the mountain because it makes an avelanch.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a good idea to build on a steep slope because you our what you're building could fall down the slope.
ReplyDeleteit is not a good idea to build on a hill because wash out on you.
ReplyDeleteit isn't a good idea to build on a steep slope because the building could colapse and slide down the slope and possably kill somebody. the procations you could take would be to build a tiny building and make a really good cellar
ReplyDeleteErosion will cause the land under the building to be washed away, and over time the house will fall to the bottom of the slope.

Because it could shift if u do build on a steep slope you would have to take very good precautions because it could fall over.
ReplyDeleteif u build on a steep slope the climate and stuff will cause the slope to get steeper so eventually your house will fall over
ReplyDeleteIts not good to build on a steep slope Because it's steep and if it rains it will run down on whatever you built.
ReplyDeleteIt is not a good idea to build a steep slope , because when it rains it will cause a mud slide and it will slide down!
ReplyDeleteit would be hard to with a steep slope because it could have a rock slide or a mud slide Alexander p
ReplyDeleteGavin L.
ReplyDeleteThe reason is because of slumps which can wash away the foundations of the building.
To take precautions, plant grass and other plants to hold the soil there.

ReplyDeleteits not good to build on a steep slope because it might fall from the erosion. And if u do build on a steep slope you should make the slope flat with cement.:D
ReplyDeleteRand N.
ReplyDeleteThe reason is because it could mudflow and the house would fall down if something hit the top of the house and it would fall down. Precautions would be build a cement base outward so it doesn't fall down.

ReplyDeletebecause rain could wash it away
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes and rain can cause the Earth materials to weaken and eventually causing them to move downhill.
ReplyDeleteGavin L.
ReplyDeleteyou could also use rocks to hold the soil from moving or you could plant trees around the house so the roots would hold the soil and wind and rain don't wash away the dirt from under the house.
You would need strong walls and a giant foundation.
ReplyDeleteBecause water can wash the thing away
ReplyDeleteIt would not be a good idea because the landskape could erode and destroy everything that you have built
ReplyDeleteIf you built on a hill, it would wash out!
ReplyDeleteKiyah said.......
ReplyDeleteIt would cause an avalanche
its a very bad idea because after awhile a house or building you build on the slope will eventerly calapse
ReplyDeleteEarthquakessssss! sooo easy
ReplyDeleteIts not a good idea to build on a steep slope because it would cause an Avalanche.
ReplyDeleteIf u built on a steep slope your house would eventually fall unless u would build it with a strong foundation but after a while ur house would tilt
ReplyDeleteIts not a good idea to build on a slope because the slope will continue eroding and your house will break or fall
ReplyDeleteyou would need strong foundation
ReplyDeleteyou would need a strong foundation and pillars to hold up your building
ReplyDeleteIts not a good idea because it would all fall down. The precautions you would need if you were going to build something on a steep slope would be that there is a big possibility it would fall over.
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes could destroy everything

ReplyDeleteIf you built on a steep slope, And if it rains it would fall down.
ReplyDeletea rock side would sweep it down the mountain
ReplyDeleteIt's not a good idea to build on a steep slope because, It could start a rock slide, and if you decide to build on a steep slope precautions you should take is to know it's going to fall. :)

ReplyDeletecause it would it would like breake!!!!
It wouldn't be a good idea to put a building on a steep slope because you would have to make a VERY good foundation on the house... and it would be to dangerous. ;)
ReplyDeleteduhhh
ReplyDeleteJust if you have a miny door and celler then it will be fine
ReplyDeletebecause it would fall..obviously..(:
ReplyDeleteDuh!!! it would falll!!
ReplyDeleteits not a good idea! why would you build on a steep slope in the first place.

ReplyDeleteyour house would fall over and go poof
ReplyDeleteso board someone else say hi
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteI think it wouldn't be a good idea because it won't stay up for very long and it would collapse and probably cause an avalanche.
ReplyDeleteStuff would come tumbling down the slope.
ReplyDeleteObviously , it would.. silly ducks ;)
ReplyDeleteif you built on a steep slope it could fall and kill someone....

ReplyDeletethis is weird
ReplyDeletethe house would get caught in a land slide
ReplyDeleteIt is not a good idea to build your house on a slope because, if there ever was any water the foundation would eventually crack and make the house start to brake into pieces. Also if there was enough rain the house, depending on how well it was built could eventually slowly start to slide out of the ground.
ReplyDeleteim scared, slopes are freaky
ReplyDeleteAvalanches would make stuff like rocks fall on whatever it is they're building.
ReplyDeleteit woud capseee
ReplyDeletestart this chant
ReplyDeletescience science science and so on
got that right
ReplyDeletekiyah said...
ReplyDeleteone question how does something so hard break??
Because in the wind the building would gradually shift and the eventually could fall. Unless you drill large polls in the ground to make it a good foundation and it wold less likely to fall down.
ReplyDeletethe house could get cought on fire and burn as it fell down the mountian
ReplyDeleteit would colapes
ReplyDeletei spelled that wrong srry
ReplyDeleteit could stay on the edge
ReplyDeleteIT WOULD CALLAPSEEE DUH OR GET CAUGHT ON FIRE
ReplyDeleteit wouldn't last very long, but people have built houses on slopes and it lasted
ReplyDeleteNo it wouldn't Phinney?? ;)
ReplyDeleteThere's a simple reason why we shouldn't build houses on slopes:it just wouldn't work at all.
ReplyDeleteThis will not last very long
ReplyDeleteu r dome to build something on a slope.dont do it
ReplyDeletei don't think it would catch on fire. it might fall on someone.
ReplyDeleteit could Hannah n
ReplyDeleteIf it flooded it would sink
ReplyDeleteWhat does the C in E=MC^2 mean?
ReplyDeletethen there would be a million dollar house anymore
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a good idea to build on a steep slope because erosion could occur and it could knock your house down.
ReplyDeleteIf you were to build on a steep slope, you would need a big foundation with a lot of support or try to flatten the slope a little bit.
Yes it would connor
ReplyDeletegravity could make make you building slide downhill
ReplyDeleteIt would not be a good idea to build on a steep slope because if too much weight is put the slope it might collapse and you would die. It might also flood and you would drown and die.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be smart to build a house on a slope because it may make the earths surface crack which may cause a rock fall and destroy the house.
ReplyDeleteYour house would die in the slide... I'm gonna make my house on a gental slope or plain.
ReplyDeleteIt is not a very good idea to build on a steep slope because it would probably cause an avalanche.
ReplyDeleteArcher Thomas
ReplyDeleteIf you build on a steep slope, during rain storms, the fragile slope will fall down taking one's beloved million dollar home down with it. That happens a lot in California were people like to live on cliffs for the view and when it does rain, their house ends up wrecked at the bottom of the slope.
It is definately not a good idea to build on a steep slope, because bad things could happen. Rock slides, are among the worst. Some precautions you could take could be, building a cement walls around your building to protect you, or jus† not build on the hill in the first place
ReplyDeletebuilding on a slope on the coast is a VERY BAD IDEA. But that's what movie stars are for right? Making the bad decision
ReplyDeletei think that it would fall as soon as a heavy rain shower happened. i would not build my house directly on the ledge.
ReplyDeleteIt is not a good idea to build on a steep slope because rain can make the dirt turn into mud and the building could fall down; and if its on a slope near a body of water, it could fall into the water or a storm could trow water onto the building.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bad idea to build your house on a slope because the ground might shift and your house might die.
ReplyDeleteBut they still have too much money
ReplyDeleteWhere ever you put your house it's gonna be in danger from something.
ReplyDeleteOf course the house would get flooded connor
ReplyDeleteHi I love science. You should make a big foundation and support beams for anything that you would build on a steep slope because since it is leaning it would fall without extra support.
ReplyDeleteYou should not build on a steep slope because of possible land shift. Also, extra stress would be placed on any support beams. The house or building would be vulnerable to wind. Rain would wash down the steep slope and cause damage to the house. The house might fall down and/or slide down the hill. If you do decide to build on a steep slope, build a large foundation and have your house inspected often. Fix any damage to support, and take safety precautions during storms like hurricanes.
ReplyDeleteit is not a good idea to build on a steep slope because if there is not enough support it could just fall right down.... and people would die..
ReplyDeleteI would be dangerous to build on slope because there could be a rockfall or rock slide. There could be a mudslide too.
ReplyDeleteI think the house would fall as soon as any type or percipitation came, it would get swept away
ReplyDeleteOn a hill it's in danger from slides, on a plain from tornadoes and floods. But probabely earth quakes. }:)
ReplyDeletehaha connor
ReplyDeleteIt is not a good idea to build a house on a steep slope because there is a chance that the house could slide down the slope. Also, it might be on water and the water can make the hill face slide down in layers. Slowly the edge would come closer to the house, and soon your house would fall. Killing you and your family.
ReplyDeletethere are many consequences to living on a steep slope. Some of them are mudslides rock slides and avalanches. All of these depend on what type of slope you chose to build the house on
ReplyDeleteit is a super stupid idea
ReplyDeleteBuilding on a slope is bad because if it rains or the water erodes the cliff and your house might fall and you will be homeless
ReplyDeleteIf your house is on the coast AND on a hill your dead anyway.
ReplyDeleteand, if u decide you just HAVE to build on a slope, you should build it not to close to water. and you should have alot of precausions to keep it in place.
ReplyDeleteXD - Stay Frosty

ReplyDeleteIt is not a good idea to build a house on a steep slope because there are chances that the house might fall down and chances are you could die if you were in that house. Erosional forces wear away dirt and rocks, e.t.c. So the house will wear into the ground and stay their if it wasn't in a steep slope, but sense it is it will go through the slope and will fall to the ground and off of the slope
ReplyDeletepope?
ReplyDeleteif you built on a house that would be stupid because if the ground shifted it would fall! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have to be careful when building on steep slopes, especially in a place with lots of rain. Mudflows, rockfalls and rock slides could occur, which is extremely dangerous to nature as well as man made structures. Any building, no matter what it is, you must be careful where you put it.

ReplyDeleteIt is not a good idea to build on a steep slope because it's very possible that the land will shift. If you have to build on a steep slope make sure to also build a concrete wall that will help stabilize the slope. You might also want to plant some vegetation with deep roots because the roots will help stabilize the soil.
ReplyDeleteIf your house is on the coast( like movie stars) and is on a hill you are not likely to have a home there very long. HAha Irene is coming for you
ReplyDeletethe coast is not a good place to live for the sake of erosion
ReplyDeletedon't build your house on a steep slope or it might slide don because of natural disasters.:)
ReplyDeletethats spencer
ReplyDelete;(
ReplyDeleteI dont think anyone is n the question anymore :')
ReplyDeleteIn California I saw this house that had fallen down a mudslide. Then a few weeks later it got destroyed by fires. I don't want to live in California.
ReplyDeleteyou could lose your limbs
ReplyDeletePEOPLE WOULD DIE
ReplyDeleteSome precautions in order to build a house on a steep slope would be to run cables to the opposite side of the slope.
ReplyDeleteyou could loose your limbs?
ReplyDeleteI dont think connor really likes movie stars.
ReplyDeleteWho is pope? I'm not asking about the one in rome.

ReplyDeleteTHAT WOULD BE THE STUPIDEST IDEA
ReplyDeleteYou should never build on a steep slope if you don't have to. Although, some precautions you could take is make sure you have a sturdy foundation, plenty of healthy plants and trees with good root systems to hold the soil and prevent runoff after a heavy rain, and concrete walls or boulders can also help reduce erosion.

ReplyDeleteBecause it can fall! =(
ReplyDeleteIt Would Be Dangerous To Build Your Own House,Cause You Can Get Hurt And You Can Built It Wrong!!
ReplyDeletethat's a bad idey yo do that
ReplyDeleteAnswer:Because erosion will make the slope fall apart and the structure might come down with it, making it dangerous.
ReplyDeleteit's a bad idea because eventually somethings has to give
ReplyDeleteIf you try to build a house on a steep slope would be very hard to do that because it would be very hard because if there was an earthquake the house would fall off the slope .
ReplyDeleteLIZZY GADDYYYYYYY
ReplyDeleteits bad because the house is goin to fall
NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO It will fall down the hill and you will be dead or hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletebuilding your/a house on a slope would not be a good idea because if there was an earthquake your house would fall and your house will squash you and your insides
ReplyDeleteit would not be good
ReplyDeleteno because underneath your house will erode and some day your house will slide down the hill and brake to pieces.
ReplyDeletenobecauseitwilleventuallyfallwhenitgetsold
ReplyDeleteNo the building would come down off the steep slope
ReplyDeleteA landslide or rock slide could happen and you could lose your foundation! D=
ReplyDeleteBut you could use cement! =D
hi gaddy
ReplyDeletewhy its a bad idea to put a house on a slope is, if the slope breaks the house will fall.
ReplyDeleteScience Is Amazing<333333
ReplyDeleteWow you hurt me
ReplyDeletebecause if a earthquck comes the house will fall

ReplyDeleteIf You Build On A Slope On That It Can Slide Off It Or A Earthquake It Can Break Down!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei love school man
ReplyDeleteIf the house is on the cliff then there will be an earthquake and the house will fall off the steep slope.
ReplyDeleteNo the building would come down off the steep slope from an Earthquake
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes could happen and you could fall with the house and break your bones, and show your insides or even die! D=
ReplyDeletewell you could try to build a house on a steep slope but it would take a long time
ReplyDeleteLIZZY GADDY
ReplyDeletei think that it woud be a very baddd idea cuz it would be hard to make and it would fall down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think that eventualy that the conceat and dirt would give out
ReplyDeletescience is fun
ReplyDeletei think if you build a house on the slope you would need to pour a slab then use poles to keep the house up off the slope

ReplyDeleteif your stupid enough to build a house on a cliff you probaly deserve for it to be crushed :0
ReplyDeleteI Love Science
ReplyDeleteheyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy people man po
ReplyDeletebecause of wind and rain
ReplyDeletenever put a house on a steep slope because if a earthquake hits well...it will fall down, or if your smart put a house (not on a slope) on a flat surface some where there aren't any earthquakes hitting like california live in maine!
ReplyDeleteNice comments
ReplyDeleteRand Nohr Snow is falling down the mountian. It is gravity that is pulling it down. The steepness makes it fall faster.
