Liquefaction and Down-Slope Motion Quiz

The geological factors that determine which part of the landscape are prone to landslides are those that contribute to low strength of rock soil materials. The low strength may be related to weak cementation, intense weathering, intense shearing of rocks, high water saturation, and poor ________.

Structural elements of rocks such as bedding, foliation, and sediments rock contact are akin to spacing of ________. Ground failure is less likely to cause spectacular structural collapses, but is frequently the cause of major disruptions, particularly to lifelines.

The destruction of lifelines may delay rescue relief and rehabilitation operations. The destruction of major lifelines such as those damaged during the 1990 Luzon earthquake including the Marcos highway, Kennon Road and Dalton pass affected the Philippines ________.

Slides can cause disastrous ________. Effects of Earthquake-Induced Landslides Ground shaking is widely considered to be the primary cause of damage to structure loss of lives, and injuries due to earthquakes.

A substantial part of the total loss of live, injuries, and damage to structures due to earthquakes may be attributed to burial and debris impact caused by earthquake-induced ________.

There are numerous examples of earthquakes where loss of lives due to earthquake-induced ground failure have significant ________.

The low strength of rock soil materials may result from weak ________, intense weathering, intense shearing of rocks, high water saturation, and poor compaction.

Structural elements of rocks like bedding, foliation, and sediments rock contact are similar to the spacing of ________. Ground failure may not lead to structural collapses but can disrupt lifelines.

The destruction of major lifelines after the 1990 Luzon earthquake impacted the Philippines' ________.

Slides can have disastrous ________. Ground shaking is often seen as the main cause of damage, loss of lives, and injuries during earthquakes.
