What is Landslide A landslide is a large amount of earth, rock, and other material that moves down a steep slope. Landslides are a type of "mass wasting” which denotes any down-slope movement of soil and rock under the direct influence of gravity,Causes. Construction - Whenever there is a heavy machine oF any exchsive use in construction, a crack occurs inthe sol, due to which sol loses his place and he starts faling down due to which a landslide occurs, Deforestation- When trees are cut down, their roots are no longer available to hold the soi together. CONSEQUENCES oF DEFORESTATION Heavy rainfall - Water can cause landslides mudslides because it alters the pressure within the slope. which leads to slope trigger thats way the heavy wateraden slope materials (soil rock. ete) wil fall to the forces of gravity Excessive water i thought tobe one ofthe most common triggers for landslides.Effect. Drainage system - When the rate of landslides in a river channel is greater than the rate of erosion of landslide debris from the river flow, the landslide creates a natural dam by blocking the river channel. Farming - Landslides have devastating effects on farmers’ livelihoods as they can block access to land for years, destroy seed and food stores and will usually result in the loss of livestock and standing crops. Loss of natural resources(Trees)- The impact of a landslide can be extensive, including loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, damage to land and loss of natural resources.Redectuion. Plantation of trees- grow trees up slope as it wil slow down the flow of water and roots binding the soil wll thus prevent soil erosion, Grouting rock soil-It is a kind of methods in which the iron wire is put in the ground, with the help of this method soil cannot move by there place. And the risk of landsliding is reduced Proper water system - Such a system of water, with the help of which the rain water does not fall directly from the mountain, Ifthe rain water falls through side by side, then with the help of this the danger of landside willbe greatly reduced.
