A landslide or landslip are a natural disaster, something which is unfortunately unavoidable. Landslides can vary in size but usually they always involve a large ground movement. This can be things such as debris and rock failing. A landslide can occur on shore or off shore and usually at coastal lines but it is the gravity that forces the debris and rocks to fall and for a total landslide to occur.If an area has some pre conditional factors, it could help to build up a lot of problems, sub surface problems and conditions from arising. The conditions could make the slope to continuously product landslides.The Causes of a landslide :Erosion – if this occurs, even just slightly, can make some of the slope to fall in to oceans or rivers. Glaciers can also have a landslide – there is not much of a different from a cliff top. Instead, the ice melts or is subject to heavy rain and causes a slight shift from a glacier.Earthquakes – this brings about a sharp change in the slope and makes it unstable.Groundwater can destabilize the slope putting pressure on it greatly.Volcanoes erupting – this can cause the slope to become unstable.Soil structure can change.However, these are all natural causes for a landslide to occur but human activities can contribute to cause a landslide.Heavy machine vibrations in the ground Deforestation can make fragile slopes unstable.
