Landslides are due to heavy rain saturating soil on a hillside. Landslides occur when vegetation can no longer support the soil’s weight against the force of gravity. Compared to other countries, Australia experiences minimal landslide activity. Australia usually receives minimal rainfall. Areas that experience landslides include cliffs along the ocean that receive large amounts of showers. Australia takes certain precautions to minimize the effects of landslides and increase the chances of survival. The Australian government looks at past tragic events that help them impose stringent planning. When building new structures they look for areas with a low risk of slope instability. They map out those areas that are vulnerable to landslides. Taking the correct measurement of precaution can protect us from any vital damage.
