Landslides occur around the world and have helped shape the Earth as we know it. The landslide that destroyed a rural neighborhood and claimed 43 lives in Oso, northeast of Seattle, 10 years ago ...
Landslides are of course a global phenomenon, and scientists are identifying climate change-fueled landslide risks across the world. Cyclone Gabriel in New Zealand triggered more than 140,000 ...
A landslide, also called a landslip, [10] is a relatively rapid movement of a large mass of earth and rocks down a hill or a mountainside. Landslides can be further classified by the importance of water in the mass wasting process. In a narrow sense, landslides are rapid movement of large amounts of relatively dry debris down moderate to steep ...
The areas most generally recognized as being at risk of a dangerous mudflow are: Areas where wildfires or human modification of the land have destroyed vegetation; Areas where landslides have occurred before; Steep slopes and areas at the bottom of slopes or canyons; Slopes that have been altered for the construction of buildings and roads
Landslides that move at a glacial pace over hundreds or thousands of years are not uncommon in Southern California — and around the world, Godt said. “For many of those places, it’s not a ...
A volcanic landslide or volcanogenic landslide is a type of mass wasting that takes place at volcanoes. Occurrences
