The text is for questions 42 – 45

A landslide or landslip is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of
ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows, which
can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments. Although the action of gravity is the
primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the
original slope stability. Typically, pre-conditional factors build up specific sub-surface
conditions that make the area/slope prone to failure, whereas the actual landslide often requires
a trigger before being released.
Landslides occur when the stability of a slope changes from a stable to an unstable
condition. A change in the stability of a slope can be caused by a number of factors, acting
together or alone. Natural causes of landslides include: groundwater (pore water) pressure
acting to destabilize the slope, loss or absence of vertical vegetative structure, soil nutrients,
and soil structure (e.g. after a wildfire), erosion of the toe of a slope by rivers or ocean waves,
weakening of a slope through saturation by snowmelt, glaciers melting, or heavy rain,
earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions
Landslides are aggravated by human activities such as : deforestation, cultivation and
construction, which destabilize the already fragile slopes, vibrations from machinery or traffic,
blasting, earthwork which alters the shape of a slope, or which imposes new loads on an
existing slope.
There are some types of landslides: Debris Flow, earth flow, debris avalanche,
Sturzstrom, and Shallow landslide in which the sliding surface is located within the soil mantle
or weathered bedrock (typically to a depth from few decimetres to some metres).

A. Landslides C. Deforestation
B. Geological phenomenon D. Types of landslides

43. When did a landslide happen?

A. When there is a deforestation in the area
B. When there is groundwater under the mountain
C. When the stability of a slope changes from a stable
D. When the sliding surface located within the soil mantle.

44. What is the primary driving force of landslides?

A. Ground movement C. Vibration of machinery
B. The action of gravity D. Groundwater power

45. Based on the text we know that….

A. there are 5 types of landslides
B. landslides are only caused by human activity
C. landslide can happen at a stable slope
