with little or no vegetative cover are somewhat more prone to landslides, especially <br />shallow, surficial slides than are areas with heavier vegetative cover. Water <br />saturated soils or rock with a high water table are much more prone to landslides <br />because the water pore pressure decreases the shear strength of the soil and thus <br />increases the probability of sliding. <br /> <br /> Figures 8.1 to 58,4 <br /> Major Types of Landslides <br /> <br /> SOFT ~.RODIItitLE ROCK <br /> <br /> Fig. 8-1.
