    The document discusses early warning signs of landslides and sinkholes. Some signs are identical for both landslides and sinkholes, such as cracks in buildings and broken pipes. Signs unique to landslides include tilted trees and tension cracks on slopes. Signs unique to sinkholes include observing actual sinkhole cavities and sediments in water. Other signs, such as tilted or wilted vegetation, can indicate either landslides or sinkholes depending on the direction and location of tilting.

    2. Take note of some of the early warning signs
    the residents of Cherry Hills noticed before the
    landslide.
    Rainfall-induced landslide hazards even though
    the term landslide is generally used to describe
    the downward movement of earth materials
    driven by gravity.

    Landslides occur in response to a variety of both


    natural and manmade triggering events, such as
    earthquakes, heavy rainfall, volcanic activity, or
    road and building construction.
    There are more variations in landslide
    mechanisms and triggering events than can be
    covered in an introductory course.

    Therefore, the most important outcome of any


    lesson on landslides is that learners develop the
    curiosity and willingness to critically evaluate
    what their surroundings can tell them about
    landslides.
    1. As the landslide mass slowly moves down, it
    pushes the ground at the bottom or toe of the
    slope and causes it to bulge.
    2. Water seeping down a slope is one of the
    most common sources of landslides, and is
    manifested by water collecting emerging at
    the bottom or toe of the slope.
    3. Tilted vertical objects like trees, post, and
    fences is evidence that a slope is moving. A
    forward tilt into the prone position indicates
    (as shown in the pictures) indicates that the
    landslide is shallow and translational. A back
    tilt into the recumbent/reclining position
    indicates that the landslide is rotational and
    relatively deep seated.
    4. Downward movement of the materials near
    the surface of the slope results in the formation
    of tension cracks on the slope surface
    The following signs are normally caused by
    ground surface movements which can result
    either from geological hazards such as landslides
    and formation of sinkholes.

    1. Ground movements cause underground pipes


    to break
    2. Ground movements causes the foundation of
    buildings and other structures made from
    concrete to break.
    3. Ground movements result in tilting and
    differential settlements in structures. These
    cause hinges to be misaligned and make doors
    difficult to open. These can also cause auxiliary
    structures, such as exterior stairways, to separate
    from the main structure.
    Using the information obtained from the
    sources, develop a list of warning signs for a
    impending formation of a sinkhole.

    Integrate warning signs for landslides into one


    list, indicating which signs are unique to
    landslides, unique to sinkholes, similar signs in
    landslides and sinkholes, or identical for both
    sinkholes and landslides.
    Note:
    A. Unique to landslides
    B. Unique to sinkholes
    C. Identical signs in both landslides and
    sinkholes
    D. Similar signs in both landslides and sinkholes
    with differences noted in the comments.
    SIGNS TO OBSERVE NOTE COMMENTS

    Cracks in interior joints areas, windows, C


    and doors
    Cracks in exterior masonry walls and C
    plaster finishing
    Windows and doors become harder to C
    close properly
    Deep cracks and separation of paved C
    concrete walks and drives
    Outside walls, walks or stairs being C
    pulling away from the building
    Water pipes break. C
    Titled trees, posts and signs. D In landslides, tilting is toward
    downward direction in translational
    slides, away downward direction in
    rotational slide. For sinkhole, tilting
    is toward the center of the
    depression.
