LANDSLIDES
Landslides are defined as the mass movement of rock,
debris or earth down a slope and have come to include
broad range of motions whereby falling, sliding, and
flowing under the influence of gravity dislodges earth
material. Landslide occur when an earthquake,
floods/prolonged rainfall, or volcanic eruption occur.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF LANDSLIDES ?
There are two main types of landslides :
1.Natural Landslide
•Gravity •Forest fire
•Geological factors •Volcanoes / Volcanic
•Heavy and prolonged Eruption
rainfall •Waves
•Earthquakes •Freezing and Thawin
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF LANDSLIDES ?
There are two main types of landslides :
2.Anthropogenic Factors
•Inappropriate drainage system
•Cutting and deed excavation on slopes for
buildings, roads, canals and mining
•Change in slope/land use pattern, deforestation,
settlements, agricultural practices on steep slop
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF LANDSLIDE?

THREE TYPES OF SINKHOLES
Cover-subsidence sinkholes
THREE TYPES OF SINKHOLES
Solution sinkholes
WHAT ARE CENOTES?
•Physical injuries
•Water contamination
• Loss of lives
WHAT WILL BE THE SOLUTIONS FOR
SINKHOLES?
•Check country offices, local or state geological surveys
•Redirecting or blocking source of water
•Avoid construction on wetlands
•Sea water treatment
•Recycling gray water run-offs
•Avoid human activities that can form sinkholes such as
old mines, leaky faucets, ground water pumping, aquifer
system, etc.
