Explain the relationship between continuous rain and landslide.
Answers
Answer:
continuous rain reduce the infiltration rate of soil which lead to runoff of water , which cause landslide.
Explanation:
run off of water lead to soil erosion , which could cause landslide.
landslide is shifting of land / layer soil from one place to other . runoff lead to removal of soil layer.
Answer:
Explanation:
Natural Causes for landslide include
1. Groundwater (pore water) pressure acting to destabilize the slope.
2. After effects of natural disasters like earthquake, tsunami, heavy rains, storms, floods cause landslide.
3. Unlimited cutting of trees causes soil erosion.
4. While building roads in mountains, there is a lot of digging, which makes the mountain weak.
Effects of landslide due to heavy rainfall:
1. Rivers get flooded and change their paths.
2. Displacement of waterfalls, formation of artificial water reservoirs.
3. There is live and financial loss on a large scale, as trees, buildings, rocks on sloppy area collapse on low-lying land.
4. Landslide affects the traffic, causing roads blockage.
5. Landslide destroys plant life on it.
6. Causes a threat to animal life as well
