GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Geomorphic hazards are those originating from the lithosphere, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and mass movement (landslides or avalanches).

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Geomorphic hazards are those that originate at or near Earth’s surface and include expansive soils, soil erosion, slope failures, ground subsidence and karst, river channel changes, glaciers, and coastal erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -The geomorphological characteristics of a landslide can be divided into the depletion and accumulation areas. Most ac-cumulation areas are prone to erosion by subsequent surface processes because of fractured and fragmented weak debris.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are many sub disciplines in geomorphology including tectonic, fluvial, storm, aeolian, floodplain, glacial, groundwater, climate, tsunami, and many others.
