42
Q

What is a landslide and how does it occur?

A

Landslides are geomorphic hazards where loose rock, debris, or earth moves down a steep slope. Landslides can either occur naturally or be caused by humans, or even a combination of the two.

43
Q

What are the different types of landslides?

A

The most dangerous is a flow, where rocks and debris move quickly down a slope like water.
A fall occurs when rocks or debris drop straight down before rolling or sliding.
A topple happens when rocks tilt without collapsing, often due to cracks in the rock, like dominos falling.
A slide involves large pieces of earth slipping down a slope, usually moving slowly.
Spread is when large areas of land creep sideways over flat or gentle ground.

44
Q

What are the main types of landforms?

A

The main types of landforms include mountains, valleys, plateaus, plains, and hills. Other types are coastlines, deserts, and rivers, which shape the Earth’s surface.
