Extractions: Gas Lahars ... Tephra Illustrations modified from J. Vigil A mass of sliding rocks, snow, and ice swept down the northeast side of Mount Rainier volcano about 5,600 years ago. The landslide quickly transformed into an enormous lahar, raced down the west and main forks of the White River, and spilled into Puget Sound more than 50 km downstream ( see map ). The landslide removed the summit area of the volcano and created a deep horseshoe-shaped crater. A relatively small explosion accompanied the landslide. This event is known as the Osceola Mudflow. The original images appear in a video program, Perilous Beautythe hidden dangers of Mount Rainier East flank of Mt. Rainier Aerial view of the east flank and summit of Mount Rainier volcano. Eruptions of thick stubby lava flows quickly rebuilt part of Mount Rainier's cone that was removed by the Osceola landslide. Parts of the old crater rim, however, are still visible today. Geologists have identified the deposits of at least 55 lahars in the valleys draining Mount Rainier younger than 10,000 years in age. The largest lahars were generated by landslides of water-saturated, clay-rich debris from the volcano. In the past 5,600 years, at least 6 and possibly as many as 13 clay-rich landslide-generated lahars inundated the lower reaches of valleys that head on Mount Rainier. These lahars have an approximate recurrence interval of 500 to 1,000 years.

landslides and snow avalanches in Canada. landslides are mass movementsof soil or rock downslope and are a major natural hazard in Canada.
http://sts.gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/clf/landslides.asp

Extractions: Landslides and snow avalanches in Canada Landslides are mass movements of soil or rock downslope and are a major natural hazard in Canada. They have caused the deaths of a substantial number of Canadians, caused considerable damage to, and in some cases destruction of, elements of the nation's economic infrastructure. Landslides also impact on the quality of Canada's resources. They can be rapid or slow and occur in a wide variety of geologic environments including underwater. The hazard posed by landslides can be attributable to the impact of rapidly moving debris, the failure of ground directly beneath a structure, or due to secondary effects such as river damming or landslide-generated waves. Snow avalanches are mass movements of snow downslope and are a considerable hazard in the mountains of Canada particularly to those pursuing recreational activities, such as skiers and mountaineers.In the past, however, they have caused substantial death and destruction to mining and transportation facilities. Debris flows are smaller and less rapid than rock avalanches but can be very destructive. They occur when asaturated mass of surficial deposits moves down a steep stream channel. Initial failure is frequently triggered by heavy rains. Debris flows are a major problem in southern British Columbia where numerous defensive structures have been constructed to protect homes and transportation routes. They can also occur following the bursting of a natural dam formed by landslide debris, glacial moraine, or glacier ice. In Klattasine Creek, British Columbia, for example, a massive debris flow was triggered in the early 1970's when a moraine-dammed lake burst in the headwaters of the Creek.

Slope Stability Lab
Exercise in the investigation of both slope stability and landslides from the arizona curriculum development projects . Methods, procedures and required equipment list .

Extractions: The purpose of this activity is to investigate both slope stability and landslides. The exercise consists of creating sand and gravel "mountains", measuring slopes, and testing the effects of water on slope stability. Landslides occur when a rock is not strong enough to resist the force of gravity that pull it closer to the center of the Earth. How gravity effects slope stability.

For example, the authors show how urban growth fuels the demand for mineral and water resources, tests the skills of engineering geologists, produces vast volumes of waste that must be managed, and increases vulnerability to natural hazards.

Extractions: Landslides What Is A Landslide? Landslides are a serious geologic hazard common to almost every state in the United States. It is estimated that nationally they cause up to $2 billion in damages and from 25 to 50 deaths annually. Globally, landslides cause billions of dollars in damage and thousands of deaths and injuries each year. Individuals can take steps to reduce their personal risk. Know about the hazard potential where you live, take steps to reduce your risk, and practice preparedness plans. Some landslides move slowly and cause damage gradually, whereas others move so rapidly that they can destroy property and take lives suddenly and unexpectedly. Gravity is the force driving landslide movement. Factors that allow the force of gravity to overcome the resistance of earth material to landslide movement include: saturation by water, steepening of slopes by erosion or construction, alternate freezing or thawing, earthquake shaking, and volcanic eruptions. Landslides are typically associated with periods of heavy rainfall or rapid snow melt and tend to worsen the effects of flooding that often accompanies these events. In areas burned by forest and brush fires, a lower threshold of precipitation may initiate landslides.

Extractions: USGS/Cascades Volcano Observatory, Vancouver, Washington During January 1997, several large landslides closed Highway 50 between Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, California. A number of other landslides are currently active in this corridor.

Extractions: INTRODUCTION MAPS '82 DAMAGES SUGG. READING The U.S. Geological Survey produced special landslide hazard maps of the San Francisco Bay Area for the California State Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the National Weather Service (NWS) The USGS has experience with catastrophic events associated with the winter storms of 1982 and 1983. New USGS maps are geared to reduce the loss of life and property from storm-induced landslides and debris flows (a.k.a. mudslides). Landslide maps identify areas where the greatest threat to property exists from the movement of deep-seated landslides ( see computer simulation from 1996-97 for example ). The areas potentially subject to slope failure generally coincide with the location of previous landslides and specific geologic materials. Now, fly-by movies are available: One fly-by depicts an animation of a slow-moving bedrock landslide, from a cross-sectional view. An instructional introduction is included in the animation. The other two animations show, as red patches, areas of mapped landslides in the East Bay Hills and in Marin County. These areas are part of the 85,000 landslides that have occurred sometime in the past throughout the Bay region.
