Seismically Induced Landslides
Conceptual sketch
of a seismically-induced lateral spread emanating from the eastern
escarpment of Crowley’s Ridge in eastern Arkansas and southeastern Missouri.
Lateral
spreads are triggered by liquefaction of cohesionless soils at some depth
below the ground,
causing large chunks of land to move laterally towards natural depressions,
usually river
channels.
