Heavy rains can saturate the soil, increasing its weight and reducing cohesion, which often triggers a landslide. Imagine a sponge soaked with water; when it becomes too heavy, it collapses! Landslides can occur suddenly, transforming serene landscapes into chaotic scenes. Interestingly, landslides can also be spurred on by human activity, like construction or deforestation. They remind us of the planet's power; small changes can lead to massive consequences. So, whenever you’re exploring hilly regions, keep an eye on weather conditions—Mother Nature can be unpredictable!
