Those skills are worrying me. Does anyone know much about vertical exaggeration and gradients etc? I'm clueless

i'm pretty clueless too but i know an easier formula for VE
VE= HORIZONTAL SCALE- 2 ZEROS/VERTICAL SCALE

vertical exaggeration is what you do when you take a cross section and put it in a graph sorta layout, but you put on a ratio so that it still resembles the original (sorry)

gradient is just rise over run
