  • Q9

    Which is NOT a landslide warning? 

    Springs, seeps or saturated ground in areas that are not usually wet.

    New cracks or unusual bulges in the ground, street or sidewalks

    Rapid increase in creek water levels, possibly accompanied by increased soil content.

    Installation of drainage pipes for rainwater, slope drainage.

  • Q10

    Which is NOT a definition of sinkhole? 

    Depression or hole in the ground caused by some form of collapse of the surface layer.

    Occur in areas where the soil foundation is made of soft minerals and rocks such as limestones, salt beds, or any acidic rocks.

    Usually follow a long saturation period that is punctuated by an intense burst of precipitation over several hours or a few days

    It could be natural or manmade tunnel or caves collapse.

  • Q11

    Sinkholes mainly occur in what is known as ________ these areas of land where soluble bedrock (such as limestone or gypsum) can be dissolved by water.

    tsunami-prone areas

    cover-subsidence sinkholes

    karst terrain

    limestone’s pores

  • Q12

    With cover-subsidence sinkholes the bedrock becomes exposed and is gradually worn down over time, with the holes often becoming ponds as the water fills them in.
