Black dots on this map identify the locations
of landslides that occurred from 2003-2006
overlaid on a map of landslide risk.
The factors that cause mudslide to occur
Nature Landslides are caused by disturbances in the natural stability of a slope. They can happen after heavy rains, droughts, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Mudslides develop when water rapidly collects in the ground and results in a surge of water-soaked rock, earth and debris.
HumanHuman can be causes of landslide (mudslide). Clear Cutting, method of timber harvesting is hazardous because it destroys the root structure in the area. One more, mining that use explosion methods often cause other areas to have higher risk of sliding due to vibrations under the soil.

TYPES OF MUDSLIDES
Mudslides occur place around the world in steep areas or channels along a stream or river. Masses of water saturated rock, earth and debris in those places rapidly move down a slope.
