In this compilation video, we have a look at some incredible clips of avalanches And landslides from all over the world.
There are few things in the world as scary as landslides! Globally, the highest number of fatalities from landslides have been in Asia and South America, as well as the Caribbean islands. Wherever slopes are steep, there is a chance they will fail. Landslides cause injuries, property damage, and in some cases, death. They also affect a variety of resources; water supplies, fisheries, sewage systems, forests, and roadways are all affected by them.
Almost every landslide has multiple causes; it occurs when gravity a mass of rock, debris, or earth move in a downward slope. Landslides happen in slopes that are already on the verge of movement due to heavy rainfall, snowmelt, stream erosion, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and disturbance by humans. Even a combination of these can cause a landslide. It may seem like it rarely happens because you never hear about them, but two major ones occurred just in the last few months of 2020!
Welcome back to AKTV. Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the biggest landslides caught on camera… Before we do that, pop quiz! Which of these is not a cause for landslides? Earthquakes, fires, wind abrasions, and volcanic eruptions. Put your guesses in the comments and keep watching… we’ll tell you the answer.

I worked in landslide management for a while about 12 years ago, footage of landslides used to be incredibly rare. We understand so much more about how they move with some of this footage.
This year I saw a rock slide that was about 3 feet long before it hit the water; even the tiny ones are pretty cool.
With all of the lies and stupidity happening around the world its good to know you can still count on gravity
Let this be a serious lesson to us all. If you think theres about to be a landslide, film in landscape.
I once lived near the confluence of the Van Duzen and Eel rivers in Northern California, in a town called Rio Dell. There is a large bend in the Eel river as it passes through town (thus the name Rio Dell). At the time that I lived there, the North Coas

I loved the contextual commentary. Relevant, informative and not overdone.
To get to see the side of a mountain slide…or huge rocks fall from a formation is awesome…and it makes one realize how small we really are.
Having been raised in the mountains of Tennessee, I have seen the results of rockslides all my life.
I find geological events like this so awe-inspiring. There are a few events throughout ancient history that would have been both amazing and absolutely terrifying to witness.
