| Abstract: | Landslides are one of the most widespread natural hazards in high mountain terrains such as the Himalayas, which are one of
the youngest tectonically and seismically active mountain ranges in the world. The crustal movements along the longitudinal
thrusts and transverse faults give rise to earthquakes and in turn initiate landslides in the region. In fact, in addition
to various static factors causing landslides, earthquakes are one of the major causes of landslides. It is thus imperative
to incorporate seismic factor also while carrying out landslide susceptibility zonation map preparation in a seismically active
areas like Garhwal Himalayas. In this paper, a study on the effect of earthquakes on landslide susceptibility zonation has
been demonstrated by taking Chamoli earthquake as an example. |
