Landslides are caused by the force of what?
Landslides are caused by liquefaction, which is the result of water being mixed with soft soil by the shaking of the earth during an earthquake. It can also cause instability in buildings and cause them to be more vulnerable to collapse during aftershocks or further quakes.
What might happen if there was an earthquake near a mountain?
Shaking, ground rupture, landslides, avalanches, fires, liquefaction, floods, tsunamis, destruction, death - you get the point.
What do you mean by liquefaction. Discuss different ways by which liquefaction of gases can be achieved?
Liquefaction is the process of liquefying or making liquid.(as told by dictionary.) Liquefaction is the process where soil loses strength and acts like a liquid instead of a solid.The modern methods of cooling the gas to or below their Tc and hence of liquefaction of gases are done by Linde's method and Claude's method.
How does pressure help in liquefaction of gases?
At high pressure the liquefaction is more easy, the distances between molecules are lowered.
What other effects do earthquake bring?
landslides, liquefaction, and tsunamis.
What has the author David K Keefer written?
David K Keefer has written: 'Bibliography of landslides, soil liquefaction, and related ground failures in selected historic earthquakes' -- subject(s): Bibliography, Soil liquefaction, Earthquakes, Landslides
What 3 other types of destructive events that can be triggered by earthquakes?
Landslides, tsunamis,and soil liquefaction
What else forms on the edges of tectonic plates?
ground shaking, displacement, liquefaction, tsunamis and landslides
What mass wasting factor do you think are of most concern in the portland area?
Landslides due to rainfall, or earthquake that causes soil liquefaction, which would cause widespread landslides/slumps
What are five hazards caused by earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause grounds shaking, tsunamis, landslides and rockfalls, subsidence and lateral spreading, and liquefaction.

Rupturing of soil, ground Soil liquefaction Fires Landslides Avalanches Tidal forces/waves Tsunamis Floods Loss of life, shelter, etc...
How are landslides and mudflows similar?
They are both movement of rock and sediment down hillsides
