Abstract
The term “landslide trigger” refers to an external stimulus, such as intense rainfall, rapid snowmelt, seismic shaking, volcanic eruption, stream/coastal erosion, or natural dam failure, which causes an immediate or near-immediate response in the form of landslide activity. In this paper, we discuss the types of landslides caused by these triggering processes and present a limited number of worldwide examples of their occurrence.
