landsliding

Immediately after the passage of flood waves extensive landsliding often occurs.

An example where glacial loading lead to submarine landsliding is the Nyk slide of northern Norway.

Large area landsliding can also occur on rather gentle slopes as was seen in the "Good Friday Earthquake" in Anchorage, Alaska, March 28, 1964.

The Act requires the California State Geologist to create maps delineating zones where data suggest amplified ground shaking, liquefaction, or earthquake-induced landsliding may occur ("seismic hazard zones").

A poll by Reuters and Zogby released last week showed Mr. Tester with a statistically insignificant one percentage point lead - no landsliding in evidence - but 4 percent of those polled were undecided.

The often rapid accumulation of unconsolidated pyroclastic material on steep sideslopes tends to be inherently unstable over time; pyroclastic dams may be emplaced by the landsliding of such material into rivers and streams.

An earthquake may cause minor landsliding on some slopes of the freeway, and the plastic movement of the fill would likely disrupt the pavement if the movement here of the surface displacement is substantial, possibly presenting a hazard to motorists and shutting down the highway for a while.

In the vicinity of the Sylmar fault segment there was a low possibility of landslides due to a lack of elevation change, but in the foothills and mountainous area a large amount of landsliding occurred and more work was necessary to eliminate the possibility of misidentifying a feature.
