- Ways to stop mass movement!
- all of these occur in MEDCs because of the cost
- reducing slope gradient - used a lot in the uk
- Toe Loading
- material built up at the bottom of the slope
- makes slope more stable
- Variety of materials used
- loose rock
- concrete
- earth banks
- Toe Loading
- Land use management - common in LEDCs
- Soft engineering
- sustainable
- deforestation = less stable slope
- slope management
- aimed at reducing animal grazing can improve stability and afforestation
- improving drainage
- prevent build up pf water
- aim to reduce water entering the slope
- encourages water to move away from the slope quickly
- hazard mapping
- potentially hazardous slopes id by satelite
- maps show hazardous areas
- key info = past landslide data
- supporting existing slopes
- M5 Bristol UK
- solutions include
- nets for falling rocks
- steel cables holding nets in place
- shotcrete
- concrete sprayed onto the rock face
- rock bolts to hold isolated boulders in place
- zoom in to see clearly :)
