Earthquake-induced ground movements have long been considered a secondary effect of earthquakes as opposed to ground vibrations. However, many examples from around the world have shown that their destructive potential can be very high.
2. What is Landslide ?
Landslides, also known as landslips, are several
forms of mass wasting that may include a wide
range of ground movements, such as rockfalls,
mudflows, shallow or deep-seated slope
failures and debris flows. Landslides occur in a
variety of environments, characterized by
either steep or gentle slope gradients, from
mountain ranges to coastal cliffs.
3. How landslide occur after
an earthquake
Whenever earthquake stikes, there's always
possibilities or tendency that landslide occur or
happen. Landslide may occur after an
Earthquake because it makes the slopes
unstable due to the shaking of ground and also
it can loss the strength of the slopes that
resulting a landslide.
4. How landslide occur after
an earthquake
Landslides often happen after earthquakes
because
During an earthquake, the ground shakes really
hard. This shaking can make the ground on slopes
loose and unstable, causing rocks and soil to slide
down.
