How is the region with the highest risk of future landslides most likely different from the area with the lowest risk?
It has steeper hills.
It has more buildings and roads.
It has more snow.
It has a higher population.
Experts want to use this data to inform their preparations for future landslides. Use what you know about landslides, to help them understand the two graphs.
The higher the amount of rain during a year, the more landslides happen.
The number of landslides and the amount of rain are decreasing over time.
The number of landslides had nothing to do with the amount of rain.
Landslides happen when there is more than 100mm of rain during a year.

Erosion and weathering are similar because they both involve the breaking down of rocks. However, what is a key difference between the two?
Erosion involves movement, while weathering does not.
Weathering can only happen with water, while erosion does not need water.
Erosion happens only on the Earth's surface, while weathering happens below the surface.
Weathering is a man-made process, while erosion is natural.
