Large landslides, composed of megabreccia, interbedded in Miocene basin deposits, southeastern Arizona
The landslides in the Kearny and El Capitan Mountain quadrangles, Pinal and Gila Counties, Ariz., are tabular or lens like masses of megabreccia enclosed in Miocene basin deposits. The megabreccias within individual slide blocks are composed of pervasively brecciated Precambrian and younger formations that remain in normal stratigraphic sequence, indicating that each landslide moved as a fairly co

Landslide problems at West Valley Nuclear Service Center, New York: An assessment and recommendations for study
Problems due to landslides prompted a visit to the West Valley Nuclear Service Center (WVNSC) near Springville, New York, on March 15 and 16, 1976. From this visit a report was prepared and contains the following:
An assessment of the landslide conditions.
An assessment of the immediacy of the landslide problems.
A suggested study program for reducing the landslide hazard to an acceptable level.

Landslides - Cause and effect
Landslides can cause seismic disturbances; landslides can also result from seismic disturbances, and earthquake-induced slides have caused loss of life in many countries. Slides can cause disastrous flooding, particularly when landslide dams across streams are breached, and flooding may trigger slides. Slope movement in general is a major process of the geologic environment that places constraints
