Geological Hazards

It is an extreme natural event in the crust of the earth that poses a threat to life and property.

• Mass Movement

• Rainfall-Induced Landslide

• Geological Hazards

• Debris Avalanches

It is a motion of loose material down a slope under the influence of Gravity.

• Geological Hazards

• Mass Movement

• Rainfall-Induced Landslides

• Ground Subsidence

It refers to a sudden and rapid downward moving of a rock.

• Rockfall

• Collapse

• Landslide

• Avalanche

It is defined as the movement of rock, debris, or earth down a slope.

• Avalanche

• Landslide

• Rockfall

• Downward Movement

This occurs when the weight of the water saturates the soil, making it heavier than it can support, leading to a sudden movement of the soil down a slope.

• Gravity

• Landslide

• Rainfall-Induced Landslides

• Downward Movement

The intensity that causes the landslide material to resist the downward pull of gravity.

• Resisting Forces

• Gravity

• Rainfall-Induced Landslides

• Mass Movement

Is the primary driving force to occur the landslide.

• Flow

• Action of gravity

• Vertical Movement

• Lahars

What are the types of mass movement?

• Soil Creep, Landslide

• lope or Gradient, Water/Precipitation

• Debris Flow, Earth Flow

• none of these

A rapid downhill movement of water-saturated debris consisting of soil, rock, and organic material.

• Earth Flow

• Rainfall-Induced Landslide

• Lahars

• Debris Flow

Are rapid movements along a plane of distinct weakness between the overlying slide material and the more stable underlying material.

• Debris Flow

• Avalanches

• Translational Slides

• Rotational slides
