A dip slope is a geological formation often created by erosion of tilted strata. Dip slopes are found on homoclinal ridges with one side that is steep and irregular (an escarpment) and another side, the dip slope, that is generally planar with a dip parallel to the bedding. The orientation of the dip slope is referred to as the strike.
