No. Wind plays little if any role in landslides. Most landslides are caused by heavy rain on unstable slopes, expecially where vegetation has been removed or burned. Earthquakes are another common cause of landslides.
Three factors that can cause landslides are heavy rainfall, erosion of slope material, and human activities such as deforestation or construction. These factors can destabilize the slope and increase the likelihood of a landslide occurring.
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
Air pollution does not directly cause landslides. However, pollutants in the air can contribute to environmental factors that weaken the stability of soil and rock, increasing the risk of landslides in certain areas. Heavy rainfall following air pollution can also contribute to landslides by saturating the soil and decreasing its stability.
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
Wind typically does not directly cause tsunamis, as they are mainly generated by undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides. However, strong winds can alter the surface of the ocean, influencing the propagation and behavior of tsunami waves as they travel across the water. Wind can cause some distortion in the tsunami wave, but it is usually minor compared to the influence of the initial source of the tsunami.
Some disturbance forces that cause waves include wind, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and underwater landslides. These disturbances displace water and create ripples or waves that propagate across the surface of the water.

Sediment can be carried by water, wind, ice, and gravity. Water is the most common medium for transporting sediment, with wind being the next most common. Ice can transport sediment when it freezes into glaciers or ice sheets, and gravity can cause sediment to move downhill in the form of landslides or rockfalls.
Most surface waves are caused by the wind blowing over the surface of the water, creating ripples and waves. Other factors that can cause surface waves include seismic activity, tides, and underwater landslides.
Tsunamis are caused by undersea landslides. There are many possible causes for undersea landslides, but the most common are undersea earthquakes.
DEATH.
no
Landslides due to rainfall, or earthquake that causes soil liquefaction, which would cause widespread landslides/slumps
yes
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
Crater numbers on the moon can only get bigger cause there is no wind, rain, or volcanic activity to erase the craters. Landslides are rare too.
it rains gumdrops on your head ... I don't know! Then don't answer Huricaines can cause landslides due to rain and wind. It also can flood large areas.
