Which altitude change occurs as a condor switches from thermal soaring to slope soaring?

💡 Explanation

Altitude is generally maintained because slope soaring depends on updrafts deflected upwards as wind encounters a ridge. The condor converts this upward air movement into lift. Therefore, the altitude remains stable, rather than descending wind in leeward areas or ascending dramatically like thermal soaring.
