Answer:

Landslides are simply defined as the mass movement

of rock, debris or earth down a slope. They often take

place in conjunction with earthquakes, floods and

volcanoes. A prolonged spell of rainfall can cause

heavy landslide that can block the flow of river for

quite some time. The formation of river blocks can

cause havoc to the settlements downstream on its

bursting. In the hilly terrain landslides have been a

major and widely spread natural disaster that often

strike life and property and occupy a position of major

concern.
