Question

Hilly regions are more prone to landslides.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• The movement of rock, debris or earth down a slope results in landslides.
• Landslides are more frequent in hills because the effect of gravity is more prominent on a steep slope or on a hilly area. When rain falls, water enters or infiltrates into the top soil which makes the soil heavier and therefore more vulnerable to the pull of gravity.
