That is very difficult. They would need to be aware of the land that is unstable. Wet weather or an earthquake can be a contributory factor, so they would need to watch for that. Places where landslides have previously occurred need to be watched. Flat places are safe, so they would be looking at steep hills and valleys. If they look at all of these factors, they can have a chance of predicting one, but usually they happen quickly and there is little chance to predict them.

When do landslides generally occur?
Landslides occur in seasons of heavy rains they occur mostly in places where the soil structure is weak
Why can scientist not accurately predict where earthquake will occur?
They cannot determine which point along a fault has the most pressure.
Why are patterns are important in science?
The are important because if the occur a number of times scientist can use the patterns to predict things
Where does landslides mostly occur?
usually happen on landforms
How does the geographical location of the countrystatearea support landslides to occur?
it occur by sliding
Does Probability predict what will definitely occur?
The laws of probability predict what is likely to occur, not necessarily what will occur.
What event is likely to occur when vegetation is destroyed?
Landslides
What are some effects of landslides?
earthquakes may occur because of landslides and tidal waves may also be effects.
How does landslides change the earth?
Landslides can make new lands after they occur. Because it looks different than before it occurred. landslides can change water sources too.
