	FEMA: Landslide and Debris Flow (Mudslide)
		Landslides occur in all U.S. states and territories.
		In a landslide, masses of rock, earth, or debris move down a slope.
		Landslides may be small or large, slow or rapid.

	FEMA: After a Landslide or Debris Flow
		Floods sometimes follow landslides and debris flows because they may both be started by the same event.
		Seek advice from a geotechnical expert for evaluating landslide hazards or designing corrective techniques to reduce landslide risk.
		A professional will be able to advise you of the best ways to prevent or reduce landslide risk, without creating further hazard.

	Landslide and Debris Flow (Mudslide)
		Landslides are typically associated with periods of heavy rainfall or rapid snow melt and tend to worsen the effects of flooding that often accompanies these events.
		Areas that are generally prone to landslide hazards include existing old landslides; the bases of steep slopes; the bases of drainage channels; and developed hillsides where leach-field septic systems are used.
		Areas that are typically considered safe from landslides include areas that have not moved in the past; relatively flat-lying areas away from sudden changes in slope; and areas at the top or along ridges, set back from the tops of slopes.

	Landslide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows.
		An avalanche, similar in mechanism to a landslide, involves a large amount of ice, snow and rock falling quickly down the side of a mountain.

	Landslide victory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Landslides can occur when one candidate or party is perceived as far superior to their opponents, through unfair elections, or as a result of particular voting systems which may produce distorted or disproportionate results.
		The opposite of a landslide is a wipeout.
		Landslides are relatively common in British electoral history, and this is partly as a result of the first-past-the-post electoral system.

	Landslide - MSN Encarta
		Landslide, descent of a mass of earth and rock down a mountain slope.
		Landslides may occur when water from rain and melting snow sinks through the earth on top of a slope, seeps through cracks and pore spaces in underlying sandstone, and encounters a layer of slippery material, such as shale or clay, inclined toward the valley.
		Landslides that suddenly rush down a steep slope can cause great destruction across a wide area of habitable land and sometimes cause floods by damming up bodies of water.

	Coastal Landslide with Outrunner Blocks, Bunganuc Bluff - Maine Geological Survey
		The Bunganuc area is shown on the Coastal Landslide Hazard Map of the Freeport quadrangle to be a location of known or interpreted landslides (Figure 3).
		Moreover, landslides in the area were documented in reports as early as March 1952 (Figure 4) in the Report of the State Geologist 1951-1952.
		Figure 5 is a map of the various landslide features including the "outrunner" blocks, the farthest of which traveled 183 feet from the base of the bluff.

	Tully Valley landslide study
		This landslide, which occurred after heavy precipitation of 190 mm (7.5 in) during April in conjunction with melting of a winter snowpack, led to considerable concern among the local authorities as well as the population about the stability of the slopes in the Finger Lakes region.
		The toe of the landslide overrode Tully Farms Road and destroyed 22 hectares (55 acres) of farmland (Fickies, 1993).
		The Mayunmarca landslide of April 25, 1974, blocked the Mantaro River in Peru, and the rising water level behind the landslide dam triggered landslides along the shores of the lake (Lee and Duncan, 1975).

		This landslide and earthflow occurred in the spring of 1995.
		The primary regions of landslide occurrence and potential are the coastal and mountainous areas of California, Oregon, and Washington, the States comprising the intermountain west, and the mountainous and hilly regions of the Eastern United States.
		Landsliding and flooding are closely allied because both are related to precipitation, runoff, and the saturation of ground by water.

	Preliminary map showing exceedance probabilities for landslides in Seattle
		Generally, landslides that did not affect right-of-ways, utilities, or private properties are not recorded, meaning that for the most part, the database is a record of landslides that caused damage.
		Landslide densities shown on the map were determined based on the number of landslides occurring within a moving count circle (see Campbell, 1973).
		Landslide densities, mean recurrence intervals, and exceedance probabilities are given in table 1 and shown on the map (plate 1).

		A landslide is a downward movement of rocks and soil.
		Landslides may move as slowly as two inches a year, such as the Penitencia Creek Landslide in San Jose, however, speeds in excess of 20 miles as hour have occurred.
		In the second case, the landslide is still present, has some remaining potential for movement, and the mitigating measures may be visually obtrusive or affect the property in other ways.

	Landslide Summary
		Landslide is a general term used to describe a variety of geologic processes involving the movement of fine-grained earth, coarse-grained debris, or rock down a slope under the influence of gravity.
		Landslides moving at velocities faster than a few meters per minute, particularly when they are large, have the potential to cause catastrophic damage and loss of life.
		A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows.

		The landslide material appears to have collapsed from a scarp 15 kilometers high (9 miles) that forms the rim of an ancient 600 kilometer (375 mile) impact basin.
		The appearance of this landslide on an icy satellite with low-brightness cratered terrain is reminiscent of landslide features that were observed during NASA's Galileo mission on the Jovian satellite Callisto.
		The fact that the Iapetus landslide traveled many kilometers from the basin scarp could indicate that the surface material is very fine-grained, and perhaps was fluffed by mechanical forces that allowed the landslide debris to flow extended distances.

	CHAPTER 10 - LANDSLIDE HAZARD ASSESSMENT (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Landslides are not currently amenable to risk assessment since there is no basis to determine the probability of landslides occurring within a given time period.
		Landslides which result from development activities are usually the result of increasing moisture in the soil or changing the form of a slope.
		The landslide hazard map is produced by interpreting the data represented by the maps of the inventoried landslides and the permanent factors found to influence the occurrence of landslides.
