Landslides typically occur after periods of heavy rain, when the ground has become waterlogged and unable to hold together. However, landslides can also be triggered by mining, leaking water pipes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

What causes landslides mudslides and sinkholes?
the Plates shifting
Is landslide an effect of soil erosion?
Yes it is. Erosion causes landslides
What causes landslides to happen?
The land (when elevated)becomes too heavy and collapses.
How does gravity cause landslides?
Gravity is a force everything on Earth is influenced by. The usual causes of landslides are earthquake, heavy rainfall, and the felling of trees on steep slopes.
What is the number one cause of landslides in California?
The number one cause of landslides in the state of California is due to the high pore water pressures that accumulate within the soil. Thus, this causes the soil to rapidly erode away from the surfaces that it is on and therefore causes drastic landslides when the soil begins to move downward because of instability.

What are some factors that cause tsunamis?
Tsunamis are caused by undersea landslides. There are many possible causes for undersea landslides, but the most common are undersea earthquakes.
What causes the erosion valley?
Gravity causes rock to fall away from steep mountains or cliffs and even by 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
