Life in the mountains is full of tranquility and beauty, but it is also accompanied by the threat of natural disasters. During this season, we all need to be prepared, especially in the face of two natural disasters: landslides and mudslides.
First, let's understand the difference between the two types of disasters. Landslides and mudslides are both triggered by the forces of nature, but they occur on different principles. Landslides are soils and rocks that slide downward under the influence of gravity under the influence of factors such as flash floods, heavy rainfall or earthquakes. In this case, there is usually a noise from the rocks rolling down the hillside, which is a sign of a landslide. Debris flows, on the other hand, are washed by heavy rainfall, and the soil, trees and stones on the hillside are washed away by rainwater, forming a semi-solid mud fluid that quickly washes down.
So, which disaster is more dangerous? In terms of time and destructive power, landslides are more rapid and destructive. It is often menacing, giving people no time to react, and houses and people can be buried under the dirt. Massive landslides can even bury entire villages. Landslides are generally slower than landslides, especially on steep slopes, but they can reach a wider area because they are more mobile and can cover larger areas. Therefore, although the destructive power of a debris flow is not as great as that of landslides, its impact is much wider.
So, how do we identify the signs before these two natural disasters occur? For landslides, there are some clear signs that can help us be alert in advance. First of all, before the landslide occurs, some rocks on the hillside may roll off and make a sound, which is a clear sign. In addition, when a landslide is about to occur, the part that slides usually has a clear dividing line with the main body of the mountain, which looks very prominent. This dividing line expands over time and is a harbinger of landslides. In addition, when a landslide is about to occur, the spring water on the slope may gush abnormally, or the existing spring may dry up, which is a sign of abnormality.
The signs of the occurrence of debris flows are relatively easy to observe. First of all, heavy rainstorms are a prerequisite for mudslides to occur, because it requires a lot of rainwater to form flash floods. Secondly, the soil on the hillside must be loose so that it is easily washed down by rain. When a mudslide is about to occur, yellow water usually rushes onto the pavement, which is easily recognizable because of the fine sediment. If you see this, don't hesitate to stay away immediately, as the mudslide is just behind.
When we face these two natural disasters, the most important thing is to protect our lives. First, quickly determine the direction of landslides and mudslides to make sure you are fleeing to safety. When a landslide occurs, do not run in the direction of the landslide, choose to flee to both sides. Do not try to dodge, as the landslide has almost nothing to block it, and only staying away from the landslide range can save your life. When a mudslide occurs, never run downstream, choose to flee to the high ground on both sides of the mudslide, and never stay in a low-lying place, because it is easy to be buried by muddy water.
In the face of natural disasters, family property and valuables can be rebuilt and replaced, but life cannot be replaced. Therefore, life should be the most important consideration, whenever and wherever it is. If you have friends and family who live in the mountains, it's a good idea to pass this information on to them so you can prepare and prepare together.
