Using Figure 7 and your own knowledge‚ explain why some places have a high level of landslide and avalanche hazard risk. Landslides and avalanches are one of the world’s major natural hazard type‚ they cost the US $3.5 billion per year in repair damage. They cause between 25 and 50 deaths in the US each year Hazard: A received natural event which has the potential to threaten both life and property. Landslide: the sliding down of a mass of earth or rock from a mountain or cliff. Avalanche: a

Landslides The landslides are simply defined as the mass movement of rock‚ debris or earth down and have to include a broad range of motions whereby falling‚ sliding and flowing under the influence of gravity dislodges earth material. They often take place in conjunction with earthquakes‚ floods and volcanoes. The Himalayan Mountain‚ the north-east hill ranges and the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris experience considerable landslide activities of varying intensities. Also called landslip; Downward

SST PROJECT TOPIC: LANDSLIDE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to express our special thanks of gratitude to our teacher ‚MRS. Rajashri Behera‚ who gave us the golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on the topic –LANDSLIDE. It also helped in doing a lot of research and we came to know about various types of new things. We would also like to thank our parents who helped us a lot in this project. There should also be a special thanks to our group members who cooperated in all the activities

of these events is slope failure‚ which is initiated primarily by the topography of the land. Where a slope is present‚ it is possible for mass movements to occur. However‚ many factors combine in order to trigger such an occurrence or worsen the landslide or mudslide‚ by either reducing the shear strength of the slope‚ or increasing the shear stress. Ultimately‚ the main problem occurs when mass movement presents a hazard to the livelihoods of people. This issue arises because humans develop the area

Mass Movement: Mass movement is dependent on the development of instability on a hill slope when equilibrium has been disturbed. Safety Factor is a measured by ratio of resistance which the slope offers against movement (sheer STRENGHT) to the force which is trying to enact that movement (sheer STRESS) Factors affecting Sheer STRESS 1) Angle /Steepness of Slope: Inclination of slope will affect the magnitude of gravitational force enacting on the regolith. a. the larger the angle

slope movement of rock or regolith is often referred to in general terms as a landslide. Landslides‚ however‚ can be classified in a much more detailed way that reflects the mechanisms responsible for the movement and the velocity at which the movement occurs. Types of Mass Movement Processes The down-slope movement of material‚ whether it be bedrock‚ regolith‚ or a mixture of these‚ is commonly referred to as a landslide. All of these processes generally grade into one another‚ so classification

Demand Elasticity of Luxury Automobiles In the luxury automobile market‚ there are many vehicles that boast high quality workmanship‚ luxurious appointments and powerful drivetrains. For this research paper‚ the midsize luxury sedan segment was chosen because most of the vehicles from the brands in this segment have similar features‚ power‚ and most importantly‚ price tags. The flagship models of the brands were not chosen since the features and amenities are very different from car to car to such
