It is debris or rock or mud moving down a steep slope
It can go up to 100 mph!!!
Can happen over a period of time or in a twinkle of an
eye
Rarely kill but can
Happen any time but usually in the summer or winter
The main driving force is gravity!!!
• Lack of stability
• Has to rain a lot
• Shortness of water
• Earthquakes, volcano eruptions, wildfires, or snow
melting fast can trigger it
• Where no vegetation is
• Places where landslides already happen
• Where channels are
Yes it can, you can plant plants (most likely trees) to
hold the ground and make it fertile
Elements such as land, buildings, trees, and other
things will go down with the slide
People or animals could get injured or killed
Landslides can sometimes bury or trap people
Could be multiple landslides
Before you need to know your land and protect your
property
During you need to get shelter
After you need to check your surroundings and stay
