What landforms are mudslides most likely to form in?
Mudslides are formed most commonly from volcanoes. When it was dry for a certain time period and it rains heavily it can cause a mudslide. It can be caused when a volcano erupts or just because of a hilly area. Areas that have volcanoes are prone to mudslides, hilly areas are too.
How do mudslides form?
Mud that lay on a hill and when heavy rain comes the mud flows down the slope to create a MUDSLIDE.
Which soil is safest to build a structure in earthquake prone area?

Wet soil, particularly sandy soil.
Where do mudslides happen?
Mudslides can happen anywhere in which there are soil slopes that are saturated with water. They tend to be more likely to occur in steeper slopes that have been deforested or where vegetation is sparse as this allows rainfall to enter the soil more rapidly and also reduces evapo-transpiration losses (so the soil is wetter than it would otherwise be which reduces it's effective strength due to increases in pore water pressure).

Mud that lay on a hill and when heavy rain comes the mud flows down the slope to create a MUDSLIDE.
