HUMAN ACTIONS THAT SPEED UP LANDSLIDES

1. MINING - The use of explosives underground are

like mini-earthquakes. This can cause a landslide.
Also historic mining leaves gaps of 6-8ft. A shift in
soil can cause a ground level drop of the same
measurement, leading to a landslide.

3. LAND POLLUTION - Land pollution is the

degradation of earth's land surfaces often caused
by human activities and its misuse. Haphazard
disposal of urban and industrial wastes, exploitation
of minerals, and improper use of soil by inadequate

 agricultural practices are a few of the contributing
factors.

4. EXCAVATION - In archaeology, excavation is the

exposure, processing and recording of
archaeological remains. An excavationsite or "dig"
is a site being studied

5. LAND USE - Examples are construction of roads,

houses etc.
