If 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.
Because it could easily shift.
Noah Oh-Yeah
Because they climate and stuff will cause they slope to fall or get steeper. im first
its not a good idea to build on a steep slope because it would break the mountain because it makes an avelanch.
It's not a good idea to build on a steep slope because you our what you're building could fall down the slope.
it is not a good idea to build on a hill because wash out on you.
it 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
Erosion will cause the land under the building to be washed away, and over time the house will fall to the bottom of the slope.
Rhiannon Johnson
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.
if u build on a steep slope the climate and stuff will cause the slope to get steeper so eventually your house will fall over
Its not good to build on a steep slope Because it's steep and if it rains it will run down on whatever you built.
It 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!
it would be hard to with a steep slope because it could have a rock slide or a mud slide Alexander p
Gavin L.
The 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.
its 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
Rand N.
The 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.
because rain could wash it away
Earthquakes and rain can cause the Earth materials to weaken and eventually causing them to move downhill.
Gavin L.
you 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.
Because water can wash the thing away
It would not be a good idea because the landskape could erode and destroy everything that you have built
If you built on a hill, it would wash out!
Kiyah said.......
It would cause an avalanche
its a very bad idea because after awhile a house or building you build on the slope will eventerly calapse
Earthquakessssss! sooo easy
Its not a good idea to build on a steep slope because it would cause an Avalanche.
If 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
Its not a good idea to build on a slope because the slope will continue eroding and your house will break or fall
you would need strong foundation
you would need a strong foundation and pillars to hold up your building
Its 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.
Earthquakes could destroy everything
If you built on a steep slope, And if it rains it would fall down.
a rock side would sweep it down the mountain
It'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. :)
Kiyah said...
cause 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. ;)
duhhh
Just if you have a miny door and celler then it will be fine
because it would fall..obviously..(:
Duh!!! it would falll!!
its not a good idea! why would you build on a steep slope in the first place.
hey friends it would calapse
your house would fall over and go poof
so board someone else say hi
I 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.
Stuff would come tumbling down the slope.
Obviously , it would.. silly ducks ;)
if you built on a steep slope it could fall and kill someone....
science is awesome
this is weird
the house would get caught in a land slide
It 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.
im scared, slopes are freaky
Avalanches would make stuff like rocks fall on whatever it is they're building.
it woud capseee
start this chant
science science science and so on
got that right
kiyah said...
one 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.
the house could get cought on fire and burn as it fell down the mountian
it would colapes
i spelled that wrong srry
it could stay on the edge
IT WOULD CALLAPSEEE DUH OR GET CAUGHT ON FIRE
it wouldn't last very long, but people have built houses on slopes and it lasted
No it wouldn't Phinney?? ;)
There's a simple reason why we shouldn't build houses on slopes:it just wouldn't work at all.
This will not last very long
u r dome to build something on a slope.dont do it
i don't think it would catch on fire. it might fall on someone.
it could Hannah n
If it flooded it would sink
What does the C in E=MC^2 mean?
then there would be a million dollar house anymore
It isn't a good idea to build on a steep slope because erosion could occur and it could knock your house down.
If 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
gravity could make make you building slide downhill
It 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.
It 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.
Your house would die in the slide... I'm gonna make my house on a gental slope or plain.
It is not a very good idea to build on a steep slope because it would probably cause an avalanche.
Archer Thomas
If 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
building on a slope on the coast is a VERY BAD IDEA. But that's what movie stars are for right? Making the bad decision
i think that it would fall as soon as a heavy rain shower happened. i would not build my house directly on the ledge.
It 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.
It is a bad idea to build your house on a slope because the ground might shift and your house might die.
But they still have too much money
Where ever you put your house it's gonna be in danger from something.
Of course the house would get flooded connor
Hi 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.
You 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.
it 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..
I would be dangerous to build on slope because there could be a rockfall or rock slide. There could be a mudslide too.
I think the house would fall as soon as any type or percipitation came, it would get swept away
On a hill it's in danger from slides, on a plain from tornadoes and floods. But probabely earth quakes. }:)
haha connor
It 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.
there 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
it is a super stupid idea
Building 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
If your house is on the coast AND on a hill your dead anyway.
and, 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.
XD - Stay Frosty
Perry
It 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
pope?
if you built on a house that would be stupid because if the ground shifted it would fall! :)
You 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.
It 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.
If 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
the coast is not a good place to live for the sake of erosion
don't build your house on a steep slope or it might slide don because of natural disasters.:)
thats spencer
;(
I dont think anyone is n the question anymore :')
In 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.
you could lose your limbs
PEOPLE WOULD DIE
Some precautions in order to build a house on a steep slope would be to run cables to the opposite side of the slope.
you could loose your limbs?
I dont think connor really likes movie stars.
Who is pope? I'm not asking about the one in rome.
THAT WOULD BE THE STUPIDEST IDEA
You 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.
Mason B
Because it can fall! =(
It Would Be Dangerous To Build Your Own House,Cause You Can Get Hurt And You Can Built It Wrong!!
that's a bad idey yo do that
Answer:Because erosion will make the slope fall apart and the structure might come down with it, making it dangerous.
it's a bad idea because eventually somethings has to give
If 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 .
LIZZY GADDYYYYYYY
its bad because the house is goin to fall
NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO It will fall down the hill and you will be dead or hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is not good to bulid on a steep hill? Because What if you fell? :p
building 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
it would not be good
no because underneath your house will erode and some day your house will slide down the hill and brake to pieces.
nobecauseitwilleventuallyfallwhenitgetsold
No the building would come down off the steep slope
A landslide or rock slide could happen and you could lose your foundation! D=
But you could use cement! =D
hi gaddy
why its a bad idea to put a house on a slope is, if the slope breaks the house will fall.
Science Is Amazing<333333
Wow you hurt me
because if a earthquck comes the house will fall
no!!!!!!!!!! it will go down the hill cus of gravity
hiiiiigupppy
who builds a house on a cliff??
josh this is how you spell idea
Heeey hooo hi GUPPY
pie
me hate school
Its not a good idea to build a steep slope because it will fall over and it could make a mudflow.
ilovedogs
so you shouldn't put a house on a slope if i were you because that would be a silly idea
i kill guppy
hiiiilacey
stuff
i like the sun
you are gonna die because your house dosen't like you
cake
If You Build On A Slope On That It Can Slide Off It Or A Earthquake It Can Break Down!!!!!!
i love school man
If the house is on the cliff then there will be an earthquake and the house will fall off the steep slope.
No the building would come down off the steep slope from an Earthquake
Earthquakes could happen and you could fall with the house and break your bones, and show your insides or even die! D=
well you could try to build a house on a steep slope but it would take a long time
LIZZY GADDY
i 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
science is fun
i 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
i love than
your house will fall i if you build it on a slope.
if your stupid enough to build a house on a cliff you probaly deserve for it to be crushed :0
I Love Science
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy people man po
because of wind and rain
never 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!
Nice comments
Rand Nohr Snow is falling down the mountian. It is gravity that is pulling it down. The steepness makes it fall faster.
