Angle of Repose

Angle of Repose is a term in geology that refers to the steepest angle measured from the horizontal at which a sloping surface formed of a particular loose material such as rock, soil, etc is stable. It is the maximum slope at which such a material remains in place and does not slide though it is on the verge of sliding.
