Landslides BGS 01
Landslides BGS 01 : British Geological Survey - Landslides - Overview. (1) Landslides are mass-movements of rock, earth and debris down slope (Cruden, 1991), under the force of gravity, and can take several kinematic forms. The damage caused by a landslide is very much dependant on its speed, location and proximity to people and assets. (2) BGS' National Landslide Database is the most extensive source of information on landslides in Great Britain and is updated as and when landslides occur. BGS also has a 24-hour Landslide Response Team, which is deployed to survey and assess landslides. (3) BGS produces digital geological maps showing areas susceptible to landslides as well as locations of previous mass movements
