The Analysis of Geomorphology of Landslides in Maku Region

Landslides or massmovements are the phenomena which happen in the process of geomorphologic transformations. These phenomena are a kind of destruction and denudation which take place as a result of the interaction between internal and external forces of the earth (M. 1988), and are a split process which their activity is heightened by som factors such as heavy rainfalls, earthquakes, tectonic forces and so on. Under specific conditions, this is likely that landslides occur as a result of the human activities.Destroying forests, building roads and dams and any other measures are taken on slopes without familiarity with the dynamics of the environment, are all considered as the instability factors of the slopes and occurrence factors of the landslides.
