Precautionary measures for landslides include avoiding construction on steep slopes, planting vegetation to stabilize soil, installing drainage systems to redirect water flow, and monitoring early warning signs such as ground cracks or sudden changes in water flow. It is also important to educate communities on evacuation routes and emergency preparedness in case of a landslide.
A sudden increase in membrane potential, typically from a resting membrane potential of around -70mV to a threshold potential of around -55mV, triggers the opening of voltage-gated sodium channels leading to depolarization and initiation of an action potential.
Yes, a Tsunami is caused by a sudden displacement of large volumes of seawater, Mainly from earthquakes occurring at underwater fault lines.
An example of a sudden geologic process is a volcanic eruption. This occurs when magma from beneath the Earth's crust escapes to the surface, often leading to explosive eruptions that can reshape landscapes, produce lava flows, and release ash clouds. Other examples include earthquakes, which result from the sudden release of energy along fault lines, and landslides, where large masses of rock or soil rapidly move down a slope due to gravity.
Landslides are sudden, rapid movements of a large mass of rock, soil, or debris down a slope, often triggered by heavy rainfall or seismic activity. Creep, on the other hand, is a slow, continuous movement of soil or rock downhill over time, often imperceptible to the naked eye. While landslides can cause significant damage and occur quickly, creep is a gradual process that can lead to slow but steady deformation of the landscape.
One of the most dramatic triggers of sudden mass movements is a seismic event, such as an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. These events can rapidly displace large amounts of rock and debris, leading to landslides, rockslides, or avalanches. The sudden release of energy can result in devastating consequences for both the environment and nearby communities.
landslides and mudslides
An earthquake
A sudden rush of rocks and soils down a slope is called a landslide. It can be triggered by factors like heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities that destabilize the slope. Landslides can be destructive and pose risks to life and property.
ACute Renal Failure (ARF)
uremia
The non-technical term for the sudden failure of a computer is "crashed".
Sudden failure of the circulatory system in the limbs or a limb often resulting in gangrene and subsequent organ failure.
yes

Earthquakes are caused by a sudden surge of magma from the Earth's mantle.
