    The document contains two parts: A) A true/false quiz about landslides and sinkholes. It tests knowledge on definitions of different types of landslides and sinkholes, factors that cause them, and their effects. B) A matching activity to determine how certain factors relate to occurrences of landslides and sinkholes. Participants must choose whether each factor increases or decreases the probability of these geologic hazards. The factors include things like rainfall, earthquakes, soil composition and moisture level.

    A.

    True or False
    Write “true” if the statement is correct about landslides and sinkhole and “false” if the
    statement is wrong

    __________ 1. An avalanche is a landslide.

    __________ 2. Sinkholes form in sedimentary rock deposits.

    __________ 3. Holes are the only byproduct of a sinkhole.

    __________ 4. Cover-subsidence sinkholes can be undetected for long periods.

    __________ 5. Soil creep is faster than slumping.

    __________ 6. Landslides only occur in inclined areas.

    __________ 7. Depressions on the ground that resulted from the collapse of the surface layer

    of the soil is called a sinkhole.

    __________ 8. Rock fall landslides are made of water saturated soil.

    __________ 9. Water is a natural agent of erosion.

    __________ 10. Landslides that have hardly noticeable damage due to slow movement are

    soil creep.

    B. Determine the correct relationship between the statements below by choosing the
    best answer inside the parentheses. Highlight your answer.

    1. The presence of more plants (increases, decreases) the vulnerability of an area to landslides.

    2. High and frequent rainfall (increases, decreases) the occurrence of a geologic hazard.

    3. Earthquake on an uphill area (increases, decreases) exposure to landslides.

    4. Extremely dry weather can (increase, decrease) the occurrence of sinkholes.

    5. Heat during a wild fire (increases, decreases) the hydrophobic capacity of the soil.

    6. The decrease in size of the void underneath the ground (increases, decreases) the size of the

    sinkhole.

    7. The presence of clay (increases, decreases) the occurrence of a landslide.


    8. A broken water pipe underneath a residential area can (increase, decrease) internal erosion.

    9. Damp soil (increases, decreases) the surface tension of the particles.

    10. Water saturated soil (increases, decreases) pore spaces between the soil particles.
