     Extractions: Mass movement (commonly referred to as landslides) represents a geological process where surface materials move downhill by gravity. Most of the Martian mass movements occur in Valles Marineris, the Grand Canyon of Mars. Figure 2.1 shows a section of a collapsed canyon wall. At the top of the picture, a rock avalanche at the three curved walls is clearly visible. There is also a large amount of debris accumulated at the foot of the walls. A close-up view of the central curved wall is shown in Figure 2.2 . The fan-shaped feature at the bottom is the front of a debris flow on the valley floor. Figure 2.3 is another view of debris that piled up to modify the valley floor on a large scale. Notice the lineated tectonic grabens on top of the plateau. (Graben represents a downthrown block of land mass produced by horizontal tensions.) The existence of these linear grabens suggests that Valles Marineris was probably formed by horizontal stretching of the regional tectonic stresses. Another interesting feature occurred on the valley floors of the fretted or chaotic terrain as shown in Figure 2.4 . Notice the lineated features on the valley floors. They were probably formed by the debris deposits coming off the steep walls. There may be some slow, glacier-like, down-slope movements parallel to the lineations, but much of the movements are in the direction perpendicular to these linear features.

Movements at the head of the rotational slide zone are shown here.

     Extractions: LANDSLIDES !! AN ALERT "TALK STORY" The images contained in the Natural Hazards Image Archive are formatted and presented by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Data Distribution Laboratory (JPL-DDL) for general use. All of the images are from an United States Geological Survey Photo CD-ROM, and represent a sampling of the U.S.G.S. photo archive collection. Many of the images are priceless from both an historical as well as geological standpoint. The Natural Hazards Image Archive is part of an on-going effort by the JPL-DDL to create a user-friendly archive of U.S. government scientific CD-ROM information. To that end, the JPL-DDL has developed a Government CD-ROM archive that lists the contents of over 400 U.S. Government science CD-ROMs. Another government entity that has extensive archives of natural hazard photos is the NOAA/NGDC, which can be reached at NOAA Natural Hazards . If you have an intense interest in seeing more photos of natural hazards and other geologic information, you may want to check these sites out now. Otherwise, please feel free to continue reading.

     Extractions: Earthquake-Induced Landslides Earthquake shaking can cause landsliding on many scales, as some of these examples show. An earthquake can cause a slope to become unstable by the inertial loading it imposes or by causing a loss of strength in the slope materials. This large slide temporarily blocked a river following the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan. The river eventually formed a path around the slide and began to erode the slide materials. Note that the hillside was covered with vegetation before the slide, and hence the exposed bedrock marks the boundary of this large slide. This building hangs over the head scarp of a landslide in decomposed bedrock that was triggered by the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Several homes were buried and over 30 people killed by the landslide. A large slide formed beneath portions of the central switching station for Taiwan during the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake. The slide movements of about a meter caused extensive disruption to the station, resulting in extended disruption to power supplies in Taiwan. This photo shows the scarp along one side of the slide mass notice the offset in the pavement and bends in the pipes. [Accompanies above slide]

Read more about this map close this text box Map Sources Landslides are mass movement of soil and rock. They have resulted in several hundred deaths in Canada, and caused billions of dollars in damage. There are different types of landslides: rock avalanches, caused by the failure and disintegration of a large rockmass with a rapid downslope movement of the debris into the valley. Rockslides are a mass of rock that slides, on short distance, on the detachment surface. Rockfalls are a small rockmass that disintegrates into many blocks falling, bouncing and rolling down a steep slope. Debris flow happens when surficial material is saturated with water, usually caused by heavy rains. There are also debris avalances. These occur on the slopes of volcanoes and are large rapid mass movements of volcanic rock, but they have not occurred recently in Canada.

     Extractions: The placement of buildings, to capture a spectacular view, on slide-prone coastal dunes, eroding headlands and sand spits, or at the edge of a receding shoreline, may lead to the loss of the structure. It has been noted that in Portland, population pressure has pushed construction into many areas and sites previously rejected as landslide-prone. Agricultural irrigation and forestry practices such as clear-cutting and stripping vegetation from naturally oversteepened slopes have been shown to be responsible for a spate of landslides. Highway construction on similar slope conditions awaits only the first good rain to provoke earth movement. In an urban setting, improper drainage most often induces disastrous sliding.
