Landslide History

Landslides are natural disasters where large masses of rock, soil, or debris move down slopes due to gravity. They can be triggered by heavy rain, earthquakes, volcanic activity, or human activities like deforestation. Throughout history, significant landslides have caused destructive effects, including loss of life, property damage, and alteration of landscapes. Understanding landslide history helps scientists predict future events and develop safety measures. Regions prone to landslides often implement monitoring systems and land-use planning to mitigate risks and protect communities.
