Other Geological Hazards | Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
概要
TLDRThe video provides an educational overview of geological hazards, focusing on landslides and sinkholes. Landslides are described as the downward movement of rock, debris, or earth due to gravity and can result from natural events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions or human activities such as deforestation or construction. Types of landslides include rotational slides, falls, flows, and creep, each with specific characteristics. Recognizable signs of impending landslides include unusual ground bulges, cracked soil, and water line breaks. The video also covers sinkholes, which are depressions or holes in the ground caused by water's dissolution of underlying rocks. They manifest in various forms like dissolution, cover-subsidence, and cover-collapse sinkholes, with symptoms such as leaning trees and pond formation after rainfall. Strategies for hazard mitigation involve understanding signs of incidents, taking preventative measures, and knowing how to react during and after an event, including the importance of not interfering with a developing sinkhole and ensuring public safety.

In this lesson, we discussed geological hazards including landslides and sinkholes. Landslides are movements of rock or earth down a slope, triggered by natural events like earthquakes or floods and human activities such as construction or deforestation. There are various types of landslides, including rotational, translational, and block slides, each defined by their distinct movement mechanics. Signs of impending landslides include unusual ground bulges and cracks, and precautions involve swiftly moving away or taking cover indoors. Post-landslide actions include checking for injuries, assisting rescue operations, and listening to news alerts.

Sinkholes form when water dissolves surface rocks, often seen in areas with limestone. They can gradually develop but cause sudden collapses, especially in urban areas where they might be instigated by infrastructural failures. Types of sinkholes include dissolution, cover subsidence, and cover collapse sinkholes, each varying by their formation and potential danger. Indicators of potential sinkholes include tilted trees and ground cracks. Precautionary measures include monitoring for water disappearance and avoiding sinkhole areas with heavy machinery. Public safety involves alerting authorities and restricting access.

ビデオQ&A
What are geological hazards?
Geological hazards are processes that can cause loss of lives, injuries, property damage, and environmental harm through events like landslides and sinkholes.
What are the types of landslides discussed in the video?
Types include rotational slides, translational slides, block slides, falls, topples, flows, debris flows, debris avalanches, earth flows, mudflows, creep, and lateral spreads.
What causes landslides?
Landslides are caused by natural events such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and prolonged rainfall, as well as human activities like deforestation, construction, and mining.
What should be done during a landslide?
Quickly move out of the path, and if inside a building with no escape, protect your head and hide under sturdy furniture.
How can sinkholes be identified?
Signs of impending sinkholes include tilted trees or posts, slanted foundations, new ponds, ground cracks, and sudden drainage of ponds.
What are dissolution sinkholes?
Dissolution sinkholes form when water slowly dissolves rock just beneath the soil, forming depressions or ponds if lined with debris.
What causes cover-collapse sinkholes?
These occur when groundwater creates cavities under a surface layer causing it to collapse suddenly once the surface support is lost.
What precautions should be taken for sinkholes?
Watch for disappearing surface water, check fields before using machinery, keep heavy equipment away from suspected sinkholes, and restrict access to sinkholes.
What are some human causes of landslides?
Land clearing, construction activities, water leakage from pipes, and vibrations from traffic or blasting.
What's a sign of imminent landslide?
Indicators include cracks or bulges on the ground, sticking doors, exposed spaces under foundations, and sudden drainage changes in nearby water bodies.
