Landslides Zonation Hazard: relation between geological structures and landslides occurrence in hilly tropical regions of Brazil.
This paper presents a new approach of landslides zonation hazard studies, based on an integrated study of structural data along with geomorphological and external factors, in a hilly regions of Brazil, covered by a tropical humid rain-forest, called Serra do Mar. The Serra do Mar consists of a hilly region along the east coast of Brazil, with high slopes and many geological structures in a gnei...
متن کاملGeological factors contributing to landslides: case studies of a few landslides in different regions of India
Landslides – mass movements of rock, debris or earth down a slope – are worldwide phenomena which cause significant damage and an estimated 5000 fatalities each year. They are caused by the interplay of various natural and anthropogenic factors and occur under diverse geoenvironmental conditions. In India, landslides occur primarily in the Himalayas of North India and in the Western Ghats of So...
متن کاملSubmarine landslides: processes, triggers and hazard prediction.
Huge landslides, mobilizing hundreds to thousands of km(3) of sediment and rock are ubiquitous in submarine settings ranging from the steepest volcanic island slopes to the gentlest muddy slopes of submarine deltas. Here, we summarize current knowledge of such landslides and the problems of assessing their hazard potential. The major hazards related to submarine landslides include destruction o...
متن کاملLandslides Hazard Assessment Using Different Approaches
Romania represents one of Europe’s countries with high landslides occurrence frequency. Landslide hazard maps are designed by considering the interaction of several factors which, by their joint action may affect the equilibrium state of the natural slopes. The aim of this paper is landslides hazard assessment using the methodology provided by the Romanian national legislation and a very largel...
متن کاملOrganisation of the soil mantle in tropical southeastern Brazil (Serra do Mar) in relation to landslides processes
The Serra do Mar complex in the southeastern Brazil is subject to frequent landslides especially on the Atlantic coast. The three dimensional organisation of the soil was studied in a 56 ha representative catchment. Upslope in situ soil material has developed from the parent rock, and downslope the soil has resulted from landslide processes. The soil mantle upslope is mainly characterised by sl...
