Exposure
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006968
The orientation of a sloping field or hillside relative to the direction of the sun's rays, which affects the amount of solar radiation, temperature, and moisture the soil receives. In the Northern Hemisphere, south-facing slopes receive the most direct sunlight, making them warmer and drier than north-facing slopes. This factor influences crop selection, planting times, and the risk of soil moisture depletion.
