Question
Landslides and other slope failures have destroyed large parts of cities in some countries and have killed more than 30,000 people in a single event. Discuss the likelihood of a similar event happening in the United States! Explain where and how large slope failures have affected the U.S.; how we recognize prehistoric slope failures and how we assess and monitor active, recent or potential slope failures.
