If you are somewhere very flat with no hills as far as you can see and it's not raining, then you're probably safe from landslides. If, on the other hand, it's pouring rain and you're on a bare cliff overlooking the ocean in California, you might want to back away. That's because there are a few landslide hazards in your midst!

A landslide happens when rocks, debris, and soil move down a slope. They're also known as landslips. Things can go downhill suddenly, or they can slide at the snail's pace of just a couple centimeters a year. They can come from natural causes or from the activities of people. The one thing they all have in common is gravity. What is up sometimes slides down. 


CAUSES OF LANDSLIDES :-

1)NATURAL CAUSES
•Earthquake
•weathering etc

2)HUMAN CAUSES
• Minning
•Clear cutting etc

EFFECT OF LANDSLIDES :-
Landslides have been verified to result in destruction of property. If the landslide is significant, it could drain the economy of the region or country. After a landslide, the area affected normally undergoes rehabilitation. This rehabilitation involves massive capital outlay. For example, the 1983 landslide at Utah in the United States resulted in rehabilitation cost of about $500 million.


HOPE IT'S HELPFUL ☺
