Question

I want to know all about types of landslides?

Answer 1

Natural causes

groundwater pressure acting to destabilize the slope

loss or absence of vertical vegetative structure, soil nutrients, and soil structure.

erosion of the toe of a slope by rivers or ocean waves

weakening of a slope through saturation by snowmelt, glaciers melting, or heavy rains

earthquakes adding loads to barely-stable slopes

earthquake-caused liquefaction destabilizing slopes  

volcanic eruptions

Human causes:

vibrations from machinery or traffic

blasting

earthwork which alters the shape of a slope, or which imposes new loads on an existing slope

in shallow soils, the removal of deep-rooted vegetation that binds colluvium to bedrock

Construction, agricultural, or forestry activities which change the amount of water which infiltrates into the soil
