Landslide Menace
- Recently, due to heavy rainfall, landslides occurred in different parts of India like in Kerala, Karnataka, Assam, etc.
- A landslide is the gravitational movement of a mass of rock, or mass of earth or debris, downwards on a slope. It generally occurs when a hilly slope becomes unstable due to natural reasons such as groundwater pressure acting to destabilize the slope, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, erosion, etc.
