  • are natural phenomena that cause major problems around the world.
  • While landslides come in various names such as mudslide, flash flood, avalanche, etc.
  • Sinkholes, on the other hand, can occur on elevated or flat surfaces and can range from massive to barely noticeable which may leave a dent, a hole, or a body of water on the ground

Q

is a ground movement on a sloping terrain. It does not happen on flat ground because of the angle on the ground, gravity induces the land to move downward
