Porosity Of Soil
Porosity Of Soil
The ratio of non solid volume to solid volume.
Chile
Convergent plate boundary, Major EQ & Volcanic Eruptions which can trigger avalanches, rock avalanches & landslides.
Folding
The formation of compressed rock layers and pushing up into fold mountains at plate boundaries, these make frontal rainfall more likely therefore increasing land saturation and land stress.
