Ground Movement

Ground movement refers to the shifting or displacement of Earth's surface caused by natural or human factors. This can occur due to earthquakes, landslides, or underground mining, leading to the ground experiencing subsidence, uplift, or lateral shifts. Such movements can impact buildings, roads, and infrastructure, posing risks to safety and stability. Understanding ground movement is crucial for construction, land use planning, and disaster risk management, as it helps anticipate potential problems and implement appropriate measures to protect property and lives.
