Rosin bags are still on the back slope of every major league pitchers mound.
In MLB, the front slope of the pitching mound begins 54' from the back point of home plate.
The top of the rubber on the pitchers mound is to be no higher than ten inches (25.4 cm) above home plate. From 1903 through 1968, this height limit was set at 15 inches, but was often slightly higher, sometimes as high as 20 inches (50.8 cm), especially for teams that emphasized pitching, such as the Los Angeles Dodgers, who were reputed to have the highest mound in the majors. A higher mound usually works in favor of the pitcher.
A hill is a mound of raised land that is smaller than a mountain. It is generally lower in height and less steep in slope compared to a mountain.
A mound of sand that is crescent or half-moon shaped is called a barchan dune. These dunes typically have a gentle slope on the windward side and a steeper slope on the leeward side.
The major internal cause of slope failure is excessive saturation of the soil, leading to loss of strength and increased pore water pressure. This can be triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, poor drainage, or improper construction practices that disturb the natural slope stability.
A concave slope curves inward or has a depression in the middle, resembling a bowl shape. In contrast, a convex slope curves outward, forming a mound or hill shape. Both types of slopes can be found in various natural landscapes.
The 'earth mound' is on the inside of the pool. If you are building one be sure it has a good slope to it as it will become the bottom shape of your pool when you add your liner.

A dune is a mound or ridge of sand typically found in deserts or along coastlines. It can vary in size and shape, often shaped by wind or water. Dunes can have a slope on one side and a more gradual incline on the other.

The pitcher's mound is 10 inches off the ground when compared to home plate. The distance between the pitcher's mound and home plate is 60 feet, 6 inches or 726 inches. We can use these to formulate a triangle where the triangle's base is 726 inches and its height is 10 inches, with an unknown hypotenuse length. We assume the triangle to be a right triangle at the pitcher's mound on the ground, and an angle of elevation (a) at home plate. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find that the length of this triangle's hypotenuse is 726.06886 inches, and using the law of sines, we find that the angle of elevation of the pitcher's mound from home plate is 0.78914 degrees.
