A landslide, or landslip, is a geological event involving ground movements like rock falls and debris flows, primarily driven by gravity with factors like heavy rain and earthquakes contributing to slope instability. There are various types of landslides, including rotational and translational slides, rock falls, and debris flows, all of which can cause significant damage such as burying properties and eliminating vegetation. Minimizing hazards involves choosing safe building locations, preserving vegetation, creating barriers, and raising public awareness about landslide risks.

- 2. Definition A landslide, also known as a landslip, is a geological phenomenon that includes a wide range of ground movements, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows. Landslides can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments. Although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability
- 3. Causes Heavy rains Earthquakes Volcano eruptions Floods Ground water changes Rapid snow melt Quarrying
- 4. Types of landslide a) Rotational slides move along a surface of rupture that is curved and concave. b) Translational slides occurs when the failure surface is approximately flat or slightly undulated
- 5. c) Rock Fall: Free falling of detached bodies of bedrock (boulders) from a cliff or steep slope d) Rock toppling occurs when one or more rock units rotate about their base and Collapse.
- 6. e) Lateral spreading occurs when the soil mass spreads laterally and this spreading comes with tensional cracks in the soil mass. f) Debris Flow: Down slope movement of collapsed, unconsolidated material typically along a stream channel.
- 7. Damage Destroys the slope/hill Eliminates all vegetation Buries houses and sometimes entire villages Weakens the slope and makes it more susceptible to further landslides

- 11. How to Minimize Landslide Hazards Choose a safe location to build your home, away from steep slopes and places where landslides have occurred in the past. Prevent deforestation and vegetation removal. Avoid weakening the slope.
- 12. Plant ground cover on slopes and build retaining walls. In mudflow areas, build channels or deflection walls to direct the flow around buildings. Awareness generation: Educate the public about signs that a landslide is imminent so that personal safety measures may be taken. Financial Mechanisms: Support the establishment of landslide insurance. Legal and Policy: legislation to direct a governmental or private program to reduce landslide losses should be strengthened.
