The dynamics of a landslide
The onset of slip of a landslide may be mathematically modeled as the sudden detachment of a block of softer material initially bonded to the side of a mountain. Its subsequent motion is slowed by friction and by energy dissipation in the block due to its change of shape, which commences when the bl...
