Landforms
When the resistant strata are inclined the ridges eroded from the strata are asymmetrical in cross section The slope which has the same direction as the dip is usually a consequent or resequent or dip slope The slope opposed to the dip is obsequent slope Where dip is less than 30o the obsequent slope is steeper than resequent and the landform is described as Cuesta With dip becoming steeper, the ridge becomes symmetrical and are called hog s back
