When the soil becomes saturated with water, it becomes heavier and more difficult to hold in place. This can cause the soil to slide down a slope, resulting in a landslide.<\/li>\n<li>Deforestation: Deforestation can also lead to landslides by removing trees that help to hold the soil in place. Trees help to stabilize the soil by their roots. When trees are removed, the soil is more likely to erode and slide down a slope.<\/li>\n<li>Soil erosion: Soil erosion can weaken the soil and make it more likely to slide. Soil erosion occurs when the soil is carried away by wind or water. This can be caused by natural processes, such as rainfall, or by human activities, such as deforestation. When the soil is eroded, it becomes less stable and more likely to slide down a slope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on
