Answer 2

Heavy rains cause landslide in mountain regions every year. (option C)

• Landslide is a kind of mass wasting of soil, debris and earth along the side of a slope. It is an unpredictable natural disaster which causes a lot of damage.
• Landslides are caused due to heavy rainfall along the slopes of mountains where there is very less vegetation. Absence of vegetation means that the soil is loose and hence it is easily washed away by the rainwater.
• Other causes can include abrupt volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Landslides undersea cause tsunamis.
