Question

what are the natural causes of landslides

Answer 1

A landslide is any geologic process in which gravity causes rock, soil, artificial fill or a combination of the three to move down a slope. Several things can trigger landslides, including the slow weathering of rocks as well as soil erosion, earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Answer 2

Landslides are the movement of land or rocks by the influence of gravity.

• When there are disturbances in the slope then it will lead to landslides.

• There are many factors that lead to landslides and some of the natural reasons are:

• When the water accumulation occurs in an area resulting in the surging of water then it will disturb the land and result in landslides.

• When there is the destruction of roads, the soil loosens resulting in landslides.

• When there are wildfires or human destruction of trees, the strength of the soil loses resulting in landslides.

• Earthquakes, tsunamis, etc are also the reason for landslides.
