I can't apply my knowledge of shielding to explain the three slopes

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a plot featuring three colors: red, green, and purple, with a focus on the behavior of their slopes towards the end of a subsequence. The red line is noted to taper off, indicating a decrease in slope, while the green and purple lines do not exhibit this behavior. It is pointed out that purple only has two data points per subsequence, making it difficult to assess its slope behavior accurately. However, the green line appears to be tapering off, suggesting that its slope becomes shallower as the variable Z increases. The conversation also includes inquiries about the source of the plot and whether the question pertains to schoolwork.

TL;DR
Why red,purple,green slopes not all the same?

Also, why does red taper off slope towards the end of the subsequence, but green and purple never taper off in slope (flatten out)?

Welcome to PF.

What is the source of this plot? Can you say more about it?

Also, is this question for schoolwork?

Purple only has 2 points per subsequence, so you can't really say it does or doesn't taper off. But the green points certainly look like they are tapering off to me. Assuming 'tapering off' means that the slope shallows out as Z increases.
 
I caught the tail end of a video about a new application for treating chemical or process waste, which is applied to 'red' mud or contaminated bauxite residue, but the person of interest mention recovering critical minerals from consumer electronics, as well as treating mine tailings and processing ores of rare earth elements. What I found so far is the following: New electrical flash method rapidly purifies red mud into strong ceramics, aluminum feedstock...
