Historic ground failures in Northern California triggered by earthquakes Historic ground failures in Northern California triggered by earthquakes
A major source of earthquake-related damage and casualties in northern California has been ground failures generated by the seismic shaking, including landslides, lateral spreads, ground settlement, and surface cracks. The historical record shows that, except for offshore shocks, the geographic area affected and the quantity and general severity of ground failures increase markedly with...

Relationship of landslides to fractures in Potomac Group deposits, Fairfax County, Virginia Relationship of landslides to fractures in Potomac Group deposits, Fairfax County, Virginia
Landsliding is a common problem in eastern Fairfax County, an area underlain by Potomac Group (Lower Cretaceous) Coastal Plain deposits of silt and clay interbedded and interfingered with sand and gravel. The slides commonly are present in clay and silt that, on the basis of laboratory tests, appear to be much too strong to have failed. However, the very plastic silt and clay deposits...

Pillar Mountain Landslide, Kodiak, Alaska Pillar Mountain Landslide, Kodiak, Alaska
Pillar Mountain landslide on the southeast face of Pillar Mountain is about 915 m (3,000 ft) southwest of the city of Kodiak, Alaska. The landslide is about 520 m (1,700 ft) wide at its base and extends approximately from sea level to an altitude of about 343 m (1,125 ft). The slide developed on an ancient and apparently inactive landslide. Renewed movement was first detected on December...
