Description

Gain a deep understanding of geological phenomena with Landslides: Causes, Types and Effects. This comprehensive volume explores the wide range of ground movements that define landslides, including rock falls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows. Whether studying offshore, coastal, or onshore environments, this book provides essential insights into how these events occur. Learn about the fundamental mechanics of slope stability. While gravity acts as the primary driving force, this text examines the various contributing factors that influence geological movement. You will study how pre-conditional factors create specific sub-surface conditions that make slopes prone to failure, and how specific triggers can release these movements. Part of the Natural Disaster Research, Prediction and Mitigation Series, this book is designed for those interested in the science of earth movements. It offers a detailed look at the processes behind ground instability, making it a valuable resource for understanding the complex nature of landslides and their impact on different environments.

Key Features
