The study of landslides is not a separate entity all by it self per se, although it can be. It falls under the category of Geomorphology. Therefore Landslide Geomorphology.
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.

Earthquakes and landslides can be caused through the release of stored energy through a fault line in the earths crust (potential energy converting to kinetic energy). A Tsunami is a secondary consequence of an earthquake (although they can also be caused by large under sea or terrestrial landslides) A build up of pressure in the rock layers beneath the ground, if it suddenly slips or slides, releases shock waves that radiate outwards from the epicentre. It is these shock waves that can cause building to collapse and fissures to open in the ground. If underneath the sea, the sudden displacement of the seabed and water causes a rippling affect. As the ripples close on the land, the bottom of the movement of water slows down due to friction. The top continues onwards and builds up a mass of water. Momentum will carry the wave far inland, before the wave flows back to the sea. The momentum and the mass of water in motion does tremendous damage to property and can kill many people and live stock.

Although he had chosen Lyndon Johnson of Texas to be his Vice President, Kennedy was still somewhat at odds with Southern Democrats, especially over integration. He traveled to Texas in an effort to improve his political alliances there prior to his bid for reelection in 1964.
The Framers of the Constitution considered a six or seven-year term for the president before deciding on a four-year term with the option of reelection. Although the Constitution did not place a limit on the number of times a president can be reelected, President George Washington established the precedent of not seeking a third term.

The usual term is a "lame duck" president, although this can also be applied to a two term president who's party is voted out of office for the next election - i.e. George H.W. Bush was a "lame duck" president because he only served one term, and George W. Bush was a "lame duck " president because his party lost the next presidential election.
This year (2010) there is no presidential election. In the last election, the majority of US adults voted for Barack Obama - and he is now President. It remains to be seen who will be nominated for president in the 2012 elections although it is presumed that the incumbent will secure his party's nomination if he is eligible to run - which Obama will be in 2012 unless something unexpected happens. Recognizing the current widespread popular opposition to Obama's most significant government initiatives - and the backlash against them expected at the polls tomorrow (2 Nov 2010), it is not certain that Obama will seek reelection (although it is expected) or garner his party's nomination (although it is likely he will).
George Washington was unanimously elected both times that he ran for U. S. President. He received a vote from each of the 69 electors in 1789 and from each of the 132 electors in 1792. Although he did not run for reelection in 1796, he received two votes that year.

Marcus Garvey was not elected president of anything. Although he was the head of a back-to-Africa movement, his title was not president.
The Vice President is the President of the Senate, although he is allowed to vote only in the case of a tie vote.
