Mechanism of Landslides
We must understand the mechanism of Landslides if we are residing in hilly areas.
What is mechanism of Landslides, we can say that it is the movement of mass of rocks , soil or debris down a slope under the influence of gravity.
Mechanism of Landslides
Landslides occurs when the force of Gravity acting on the slopes exceeds
the strength of the mass holding in a place.
The factors Responsible for Landslides :-
The factors Responsible for the landslides are .
1. Heavy rainfall
2. Earthquake.
3. Erosion.
4. Cloudburst.
5 Human Activities.
Human Activities :-
1. construction of roads buildings , and other projects.
2. Deforestation
Deforestation causes erosion hence landslides.
Landslide is a geological phenomenon involved in sudden movement of mass of earth , rocks and debris down a slope under the influence of gravity
We can understand the mechanism of Landslides from these figures.
