Answer 3

Landslides constitute a major geologic hazard because they are widespread, occur in all 50 states and U.S. territories, and cause $1-2 billion in damages and more than 25 fatalities on average each year. Landslides pose serious threats to highways and structures that support fisheries, tourism, timber harvesting, mining, and energy production as well as general transportation. Expansion of urban and recreational developments into hillside areas results in ever increasing numbers of residential and commercial properties that are threatened by landslides. Landslides commonly occur in connection with other major natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, wildfires, and floods. Effects of these disasters exacerbate relief and reconstruction efforts. Growth of urban areas and expanded land use elsewhere have increased the incidence of landslide disasters.

Landslides are common throughout the Appalachian region and New England in the East, the Ohio, Missouri, and Mississippi valleys in the Midwest, and all mountainous area of the West. Landslides are also common in Alaska and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico and other U.S. Possessions. Major hazards in the eastern U.S. are from debris flows and from sliding of soils; debris flows resulting from heavy rainfall in 1969 and 1995 have taken many lives in the Blue Ridge of Virginia and landslide damages in urban areas such as Pittsburgh, PA, and Cincinnati, OH, are among the greatest per capita in the U.S. Landslides also cause serious property damage along the shores of the Great Lakes and on bluffs of major rivers throughout the Midwest. Huge landslides occur in weathered shale, hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks, and other rocks in mountain ranges of the western states. For example, rapidly melting snow late in the spring of 1983 reactivated hundreds of large landslide deposits and triggered thousands of debris flows throughout central and northern Utah and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Debris flows occur wherever lithology and weathering patterns produce ample loose material on steep slopes; periodic heavy rains or rapid snow melt trigger debris flows in these areas. Loss of vegetation and ground cover that occurs during wildfires further enhances debris-flow susceptibility. Sixteen people lost their lives in debris flows on December 25, 2003, when heavy rain triggered flows in recently burned areas near San Bernardino, California. Major storms have caused widespread flooding and landslide events along the Pacific coast. In January 1997 heavy rain on snow in the Puget Sound area of Washington State triggered hundreds of landslides that damaged homes, businesses, and transportation infrastructure. Heavy rain (rain on snow at higher elevations) caused thousands of damaging landslides across Washington and Oregon in February 1996; several fatalities resulted from rapidly moving landslides in Oregon. Major storms have similarly caused thousands of debris flows in California in 1998 and 2005. Rock fall is a serious hazard in many mountainous areas of the U.S. and a major cause of landslide fatalities. For example, 8 people were killed and many more injured by rock fall at Sacred Falls State Park in Hawaii on May 9, 1999. Earthquakes and volcanoes also cause landslides; the catastrophic 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington was preceded by the development of a large landslide on the north side of the volcano. The Northridge, California, earthquake in 1994 triggered thousands of landslides in the Santa Susanna Mountains.
