  • Geological hazards
    Natural events in the crust
  • Landslides
    Movement of debris rocks in the earth in the downslope
  • Rainfall-induced landslide
    • Type of landslide incorporated with water
  • Sinkhole
    Occurs below the surface that eventually collapses
  • Some geologists call it "karst terrain"
  • Common rocks that are dissolved in this is limestone
  • Major types of sinkholes
    • Solution sinkhole
    • Cover collapse sinkhole
    • Cover subsidence sinkhole
  • Solution sinkhole
    • Most common sinkhole, the soil is very thin on the surface and bedrock is exposed
  • Cover collapse sinkhole
    • Most dangerous type, where water penetrates going to limestone then dissolved until the surface collapses
  • Cover subsidence sinkhole

    • With a surface sand moved downward to replace the dissolved limestone
