Abstract: Landslide events display large variations in landslide types, size, distributions, patterns and triggering mechanisms. Landslides are triggered by many different causes, including intense or prolonged rainfall, snowmelt and earthquakes, and they can occur individually or in groups of thousands simultaneously. In nature, landslide areas have been documented to span more than eight orders of magnitude and landslide volumes more than ten. Landside velocities extend over fourteen orders of magnitude, from millimeters per year to hundreds of kilometers per hours. Landslide risk evaluation must take into account variable factors that affects the soil and also must admit the importance of landside distribution.
