The Earth's Fury: Unveiling the Causes and Consequences of Landslides

Climate change is expected to exacerbate landslide risk in many parts of the world. Changes in precipitation patterns, including more intense and frequent heavy rainfall events, can increase the likelihood of landslides. Rising temperatures can also contribute to slope instability by causing permafrost to thaw and glaciers to melt. Sea-level rise can increase the risk of coastal landslides by eroding shorelines and saturating coastal slopes. The impacts of climate change on landslides highlight the urgent need for proactive measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the changing climate.
