Landslides commonly occur when hurricanes hit steep terrain. Why?
◦ The correlation with hurricanes is coincidental.
◦ The high winds produce a shear stress on the slopes, triggering mass movements.
◦ Heavy rain from the tropical system can saturate slopes, triggering mass wasting events like mudslides.
◦ The high winds uproot trees, weakening the slope and inducing mass wasting.
