122. CNN.com - Ecuadorean Rains Leave More Than 40 Dead - June 13, 2001
     http://cnn.com/2001/WORLD/americas/06/13/ecuador.landslides/index.html
     
     Extractions: Languages Time, Inc. Time.com People Fortune EW QUITO, Ecuador (CNN) Thirty-six people died in a landslide Tuesday, buried under mud and rocks that tumbled from a mountain onto a highway in the province of Napo, the Ecuadorean Red Cross said. The accident brings the number of people killed in the country to 41 as a result of heavy rains, which began last Friday. Tuesday's victims were waiting for the reopening of the road that leads to Baeza, 30 miles east of the capital. It was shut down Monday as a result of several landslides. None of those caused any injuries. Elsie Andrade, a National Civil Defense spokeswoman, said the victims "had set up an improvised camping ground, where they were waiting for the highway to be reopened when the mountain fell on top of them." Communication with the remote area, where cell phones and radio transmissions do not work, was difficult. Red Cross workers, fire officials and police were searching for any possible survivors, trying to recover the victims' bodies, and said more dead could be buried under the mountains of mud which covered the narrow highway, a rural road that leads to the Amazon.

     http://www.idahogeology.org/Services/GeologicHazards/Landslides/default.htm
     
     Extractions: "Landslide" is the general term for the slow or rapid movement of a soil and rock mass down a slope, or for the mass itself. It covers a variety of processes and landforms known as rockslide, rockfall, debris flow, liquefaction, slump, earthflow, and mudflow. The Idaho Geological Survey has identified and plotted over 3,000 landslides in the state for the U.S. Geological Survey's national landslide appraisal. Landslides are a recurrent menace to waterways and highways and a threat to homes, schools, businesses, and other facilities. Landslides may be triggered by other geologic hazards such as earthquakes and floods. Factors of weather and climate, like melting snow and rain that increase the water content of earth materials, may fuel slope instability. The activities of urban and rural living with excavations, roads, drainage ways, landscape watering, logging, and agricultural irrigation may also disturb the solidity of landforms. Late spring-early summer is slide season, particularly after days and weeks of greater than normal precipitation. Landslides are costly. One nightmare for Idaho is maintaining highway U.S. 95, the primary and, in most places, only north-south link from the Canadian border. Redirecting local and through traffic around a landslide is not an option in many places on this heavily traveled road. Alternate routes do not exist, and detours in steep terrain are difficult or impossible to construct. The unimpeded movement over roads

127. How Do Landslides, Volcanic Eruptions, And Cosmic Collisions Generate Tsunamis?

     http://www.geophys.washington.edu/tsunami/general/physics/other.html
     
     Extractions: A tsunami can be generated by any disturbance that displaces a large water mass from its equilibrium position. In the case of earthquake-generated tsunamis, the water column is disturbed by the uplift or subsidence of the sea floor. Submarine landslides, which often accompany large earthquakes, as well as collapses of volcanic edifices, can also disturb the overlying water column as sediment and rock slump downslope and are redistributed across the sea floor. Similarly, a violent submarine volcanic eruption can create an impulsive force that uplifts the water column and generates a tsunami. Conversely, supermarine landslides and cosmic-body impacts disturb the water from above, as momentum from falling debris is transferred to the water into which the debris falls. Generally speaking, tsunamis generated from these mechanisms, unlike the Pacific-wide tsunamis caused by some earthquakes, dissipate quickly and rarely affect coastlines distant from the source area. This image shows Lituya Bay, Alaska, after a huge, landslide-generated tsunami occurred on July 9, 1958. The earthquake-induced rockslide, shown in upper right-hand corner of this image, generated a 525 m splash-up immediately across the bay, and razed trees along the bay and across LaChausse Spit before leaving the bay and dissipating in the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska.

The power of these land movements was exemplified in the severe winter storm that hit the Puget Sound region in December 1996 and January 1997. During this storm, heavy snowfall was followed by a warming trend that caused quick melting, runoff and flooding, followed by a period of rain. This led to over 100 slides in King County over the subsequent two-month period. Severe storms are not the only cause of landslides. The

     Extractions: LANDSLIDES Landslide in Conecuh County, Alabama, 1997 WHAT IS A LANDSLIDE? A landslide is defined as a perceptible downward and outward movement of slope-forming soil, rock, and vegetation under the influence of gravity. WHAT CAUSES A LANDSLIDE? Landslides can be triggered by both natural and human-induced changes in the environment. These changes may result from weaknesses in the composition or structure of the rock or soil, heavy rain, or changes in ground-water level, seismic activity, or construction activity. Human- induced landslides may result from changes in slope caused by terracing for agriculture, cut-and-fill construction for highways, building construction, mining operations, and changes in irrigation or surface runoff. TYPES OF LANDSLIDES Rock falls are rapid movements of bedrock characterized by free-fall, bouncing, and rolling. A topple is a block of rock that tilts or rotates before falling to the slope below. Slides are movements of soil or rock along a distinct surface of rupture which separates the slide material from the more stable underlying material. The two major types of slides are rotational and translational slides Flows are mass movements of water-saturated material. Different types of flows include creep, debris flow, debris avalanche, earthflow, mudflow, and lahar.

Note the large impact crater in the context image. The formation of the crater may have initially weakened that area of the surface prior to channel formation. The surface of these landslides is different from the giant Valles Marineris landslides, which have small ridges that radiate from the base of the slope to the margins of the slide. The surface features on these landslides appears to be small wavy ridges parallel to the end of the slide. [Questions?
