    Geologic hazards include landslides and sinkholes. A landslide is the movement of soil or rock down a sloping surface due to gravity. It occurs when rainwater loosens soil on a slope. Sinkholes form when underground limestone dissolves, causing the soil above to collapse. They can form gradually as soil moves downward or suddenly via cover collapse. There are different types of landslides and sinkholes that vary based on composition and mechanism of formation.

    GEOLOGIC HAZARDS

    LANDSLIDE & SINKHOLE

    LOOK-OUT!
    DEFINITION

    A ground movement on sloping terrain. It


    A topographic depression, created when
    does not happen on flat grounds because of
    groundwater dissolves the underlying
    the angle and gravity induces the ground
    limestone bedrock.
    downward.

    HOW THEY OCCUR

    As water from rainfall passes through cracks


    If rain or any source of water frequently and fissures, the soil underneath becomes
    flows down a sloping area, the soil becomes worded and spreads as time passes. Then forms
    loosened and makes landslides likely occur. a space underground making the top of the
    cover vulnerable and prone to collapse.
