[amp_mcq option1=”Heavy rainfall” option2=”Deforestation” option3=”Soil erosion” option4=”All of the above” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: D) All of the above.<\/p>\n
Landslides are a type of mass movement that occurs when a mass of rock, soil, or debris moves down a slope. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including heavy rainfall, deforestation, and soil erosion.<\/p>\n
Heavy rainfall can cause landslides by increasing the weight of the soil and making it more likely to slide. Deforestation can also lead to landslides by removing trees that help to hold the soil in place. Soil erosion can weaken the soil and make it more likely to slide.<\/p>\n
In Karnataka, landslides are a common problem, especially during the monsoon season. In 2018, a landslide in the state killed at least 16 people.<\/p>\n
To prevent landslides, it is important to take steps to reduce the risk of these events. This includes planting trees, controlling erosion, and avoiding building in areas that are prone to landslides.<\/p>\n
