When Buying a House in Terms of Geology For sale: a newly built house located in Manoa Valley surrounded by luscious and plentiful vegetation, and a spectacular overview of downtown Honolulu.What they don't realize is that there are a lot of things that the realtor's do not acknowledge, not to mention a lot that the buyer doesn't know.People in this day and age don't have time to do the proper research on property that they wish to invest in
I went to see the newly developed land, which they are selling these houses that overlook area.These houses are all built high up in the mountain towards the right side.It looks as if these builders took out a piece of the mountain and replaced it with a house.
Taking a good look around, there were no barriers surrounding the houses not to mention enough room for a walkway in the back.It just looked like dirt piled just as high as the house itself surrounding these houses
In Manoa, there is a lot of rainfall because it is located in a valley
This rainfall is what makes everything grow so well.By seeing this, I began to feel sorry for all of the tenants that got convinced this was a good place to live.Just standing there, I could just imagine in my mind a landslide-taking place leaving their houses in shambles and possibly killing a loved one
The controlling mass factors that helped me to categorize this site as landslide prone consist of gravity and water both of which are influential to slides.The causes all of the following: 1. Slopes are exceptionally steep.This relates to my description, "Dirt piled really high", "They took a portion of the mountain out, and replaced it with a house".2. The vertical distance between the ground and the mountain is very steep allowing debris to gain speed and momentum.The house was just as high as the mountain.If you were to climb onto the roof of the house, you would be able to jump onto the mountain.3.Water adds to debris and acts as a lubricant to slide downward.Manoa is known for it's abundant supply of rainfall.4. Abundant and loose particles are available in the course of the slide.A mountain is not a piece of land with any debris such as a pavement.There are rocks and loose dirt scattered abroad.5. There are no plants with roots to anchor the loose material on the slope.Even though this valley is heavily vegetated, there are not too many plants with roots, which could act as an anchor to this debris
To classify this type of mass wasting, I believe that it is in the category defined as a creep. This is very slow, down slope movement of soil or unconsolidated debris.This would also mean that the movement of soils and debris are less than a centimeter a year. The controlling factor would be water in soils. Becoz of heavy rains;( the amount of water determines the rate and type of movement), the soil in this particular area is very wet, which in turn will make the soil move downhill
plz mrk brainliest if helped.
Explanation:
We started our trip from Naldurg towards Alibag. Our station was Solapur. We critically observed the places on the basis of
* Relief
* Vegetation
* Water bodies
* Soil
* Agriculture
* Human settlement
On the way to Solapur, we saw dry grass and leaves shredded tress and concluded that it possesses the dry deciduous type of vegetation and saw traces of linear settlements. Now we arrived at the plain region of Indapur from the slopes of Balaghat Ranges of Solapur. We saw green vegetation of sugarcane everywhere because of the availability of irrigation facilitated by Ujjani reservoir built on river Bhima. After crossing it, we went climbing the Sinhagad fort from Sinhagad foothills. We observed many physical features like valleys and rocks made from a volcanic eruption. We found Basalt (igneous rock) there. There is also a Khadakwasla reservoir which servers water and a Kalyan Drawaja. After that we proceeded to Alibag, there were slopes of the Western Ghats. They are called Sahyadris, and River Ulhas also flows in that region. Now we went to our final destination Khopoli, also known as Bhor or Khandala Ghat. We saw many teak tress. Because of humidity and more rainfall to the region, paddy fields were observed more there. We saw the Arabian sea and visited Kolaba or Alibag Fort. The fort was built on a wave-cut platform in the water. Agriculture (coconut, jackfruit, etc.) and fishing are the occupations of this place. Then we returned from Alibag to Naldurg next morning. We had wonderful and full of knowledge experience.
