SIGNS OF OTHER RELATED GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS

After going through this module, you are expected to:

 1. Recognize signs of impending geologic hazards; and

 2. Explain the mechanism underlying each of the common signs.
 3. Appreciate the importance of knowing different geological hazards.1.
Define the causes of a landslide and a sinkhole.
 SIGNS OF IMPENDING LANDSLIDE OR SINKHOLE

Signs of impending landslides and sinkholes are observed on

man-made infrastructures, bodies of water and vegetation. This
list does not cover every possible indication of an impending
landslide, nor does anything on this list trigger a landslide
immediately. It contains warning signs that are listed to help
people recognize when it’s time to hire an expert to assess a
slope’s stability, or to make people more aware that something is
wrong.
All homes are subject to some settling
characteristics. Signs of an impending
geologic hazard may or may not always
cause a landslide or a sinkhole but the
presence of two or more of these signs
may indicate that there is something
wrong happening in the area which alerts
people to be cautious and careful for
possible dangers that it may cause
