Slope

The slope map indicates the degree of inclination of a given area. This is expressed in percentage rise of land relative to its ground distance.  Generally, the slopes are divided into categories based on the degree of inclination. The slope characteristics are:

SLOPE AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

Slope	Characteristics
0 – 3%	Broad level to nearly level land
3 – 5%	Gently sloping areas with land sloping in one general direction
5 – 8%	Gently undulating and rolling land sloping in more than one general direction
8 – 15%	Moderately undulating and gently rolling land sloping in more than one direction
15 – 18%	Moderately undulating and gently rolling land sloping in more than one direction
18% and over	Very steeply sloping and rolling land in many direction

The City of Meycauayan is generally flat to gently rolling. The slope of the land dips towards a west to north-westerly direction and extend towards west-to-northwest direction.  Different elevations or heights characterize its slope; thus, the Northeast portion is greater in elevation than the central part covering the city proper and its environs.
