Answer:
245 feet per mile
Explanation:
The gradient is the same as the slope (that is the rate of change). The gradient of a volcano tells how steep the volcano is. It is the ratio of the change in the height to the change in horizontal distance. The gradient is given by the formula:
Gradient = change in vertical distance or height / change in horizontal distance. Hence:
Gradient = (5340 feet - 4850 feet) / 2 miles
Gradient = 245 feet per mile
