Where does landslides mostly occur?
usually happen on landforms
What is true about landslides?
Landslides are a mass of moving rocks, debris and soil. Landslides can occur in any area, although some areas are more prone to landslides (for example: California). A landslide can occur when the force of gravity overcomes the force of friction that holds a sloped mass in place. A landslide could be triggered by the movement created by an earthquake, or simply from saturation by rainfall or other moisture sources.
Why are tectonic and volcanic earthquake more destructive than earthquakes caused by landslides?
Barrels are somehow involved.
What did they do after the thredbo landslide?
what has been done to stop more thredbo landslides from happening
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 factors make it more likely that an animal will be preserved as a fossil?
There are many factors that make it more likely that an animal will be preserved as a fossil. One factor is living in a swampy area.
What are the key factors that will make it more likely that infection will occur?
A person with a lowered immune system or taking long-term antibiotics is more likely to get an infection. All people who encounter large amounts of dirt are likely to get infected.
How does earthquake cause landslide?
Earthquakes cause shaking that causes soil, rocks to slide down a mountain side. The longer the earthquake the more likely there will be large landslides. Volcanoes can also cause landslides when they erupt.
Why are landslides more of a concern in British Columbia than in Saskatchewan?
Rocky Mountain.. More rainfall ... Landslide Flat land ... Landslides?
What are the key factors that will make it more likely that infections will occur?
A person with a lowered immune system or taking long-term antibiotics is more likely to get an infection. All people who encounter large amounts of dirt are likely to get infected.
What time of the year do landslides occur?
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. So, whatever time of year an area has heavy rainfall would be the time when landslides would be more likely to occur. In the United States, that would generally be in the spring - March through May.
Does landslide cause more erosion than tornadoes or storms?
Compared to tornadoes, yes. Tornadoes generally do not cause much erosion. With storms, it is tricky, as many landslides are triggered by storms. However, in areas prone to landslides, such events likely cause the greates portion of erosion.

How do adaptations affect a species?
they make the species more likely to survive.(apex)
What areas of the world are most likely to have a landslide?
Landslides can happen anywhere where their are steep hills or mountains.Landslides usually occur where there are steep mountain or hill sides. The steeper the angle of the mountain or hill side the more likely a landslide will happen.
What are the risks of earthquakes?
Tsunami, Landslides, Volcanic eruptions and more!
What key factors will make it more likely that infection will occur?
An infection is more likely to occur when a person has a low immunity or is on long term antibiotic therapy. Poor hygiene when treating wounds or dealing with personal care can aid the transmission of infection.
