The potential for basin amplification of ground motion from significant seismic sources 100-200 km (62-124 mi.) from the Las Vegas Valley (such as the Death Valley Fault System) and Quaternary faults in the valley could provide sufficient energy to cause liquefaction. Key criteria of liquefiable soils coupled with a shallow groundwater table (less than 15 m (50 ft)) are met at several sites in ...

introduction vulnerability is a logical effect outcome from risk of living over the hazardous regions as well as the resiliency capacity of people for recovers the damages of hazard events. vulnerability is a complex phenomenon which can effect and observe in from of environmental, political and c-social-economical vulnerability. according to land subsidence hazard affected over the residential...

This contribution considers the predictions of mass movements that have yet to take place and the support provided by spatial databases for the prediction. Conventional hazard maps tend to compile the neighbourhoods and dynamic types of the known past landslides, assuming that they satisfactorily represent the locations of future landslides. The latter, however, may also occur elsewhere. Spatia...
