Yes, and some of the largest casualties in hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones have come from landslides caused by very heavy rains. These storms can drop 10-20 inches of rain, or even more, over one area. The irony is that the heaviest rain typically falls in mountainous regions due to orographic lift, and of course these regions are also most prone to landslides. This has been a problem, for example, in Hispaniola as well as parts of Central America (Hurricane Mitch comes to mind).
What else can I help you with?
Does wind cause most landslides?
No. Wind plays little if any role in landslides. Most landslides are caused by heavy rain on unstable slopes, expecially where vegetation has been removed or burned. Earthquakes are another common cause of landslides.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
Is air pollution cause landslides?
Air pollution does not directly cause landslides. However, pollutants in the air can contribute to environmental factors that weaken the stability of soil and rock, increasing the risk of landslides in certain areas. Heavy rainfall following air pollution can also contribute to landslides by saturating the soil and decreasing its stability.
Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
What damage do earthquakes tsunamis and landslides cause?
A lot of damage
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.
Can a tornado cause a landslide?
No. In very rare cases tornadoes can scour away a foot or two of soil, but that is the greatest effect they have on the ground itself. It should be noted, though, that tornadoes are often accompanied by heavy rain, which can cause landslides.
What do landslides cause?
DEATH.
Does deflation cause landslides?
no
Does graivty cause landslides?
yes

The natural events that most frequently result in the loss of lives and property are?
floods volcanoes tornadoes landslides
Do tornadoes cause air pollution?
No. Tornadoes can be very destructive, but they do not cause air pollution.
Why is a landslide destructive?
a landslide is so destructive because they cause damage. they will slip of the walls of canyons and crush peoples houses. they also cause death. landslides are like tornadoes. They can be caused by earthquakes and is bigger than all natural disasters all together!Its true...!
Can tornadoes do lots of flooding?
No. Tornadoes do not cause flooding.
