Regional slope is a scale dependent parameter that describes the planar gradient over some (relative broad) area of topography. As such, it has a fundamental relevance to the geological evolution of a planetary surface. It is controlled by the interaction of those processes which tend to increase or reduce surface relief (e.g., tectonism, volcanism, impact cratering, weathering, viscous relaxation) and in turn, exerts control on the erosion, transportation and deposition of surface materials. The regional slope values, measured over 3 by 3 regions for Venus and Earth are calculated. The regional slope frequency distribution information was analyzed for Venus and Earth. The effects on terrestrial regional slope resulting from the removal of the ocean load from sea floor topography were examined.
