DRR_M3Landslide

Question 1

ground movement on a sloping terrain

Answer 1

landslide

Question 2

gravity induces the ground to move downward

Answer 2

landslide

Question 3

aggravated by erosion

Answer 3

landslide

Question 4

what are the four types of landslides

Answer 4

1. soil creep landslide
2. slumping landslide
3. debris flow landslide
4. rock flow landslide

Question 5

very slow downslope movement

Answer 5

soil creep landslide

Question 6

happens with every slope with loose, weathered soil

Answer 6

soil creep landslide

Question 7

characterized by a concave slump/curved plane of failure

Answer 7

slumping landslide

Question 8

also known as mudslides, happens when the slope is saturated by water

Answer 8

debris flow landslide

Question 9

when rocks slid down the slopes, usually caused by heavy rain

Answer 9

rock flow landslide

Question 10

what are the five natural causes of landslides?

Answer 10

rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, forest fire, gravity

Question 11

what are the two artificial /human-made causes of landslides

Answer 11

mining and clear-cutting

Question 12

what are the four signs of impending landslides

Answer 12

1. earlier landslides
2. tension cracks
3. things moving
4. water doing something different

Question 13

slowand weak ground movement, could mean that the soil was loose, could lead to a much more massive landslide

Answer 13

earlier landslide

Question 14

caused by stress or fiction by movement of geologic materials; cracks found on a high ground are landslide indicators

Answer 14

tension cracks

Question 15

deformation of the terrain is a red flag; tree bending into a J-curve

Answer 15

things moving

Question 16

changes in water flow; springs and wet found ar oddly found in dry areas

Answer 16

water is doing something different
