Environmental Hazards and Management with Reference to Human-induced Disaster and its Impacts: A Case Study of Stone Quarry at Aizawl South, India

Abstract

The term “landslide” refers to a wide variety of motions of earth elements that occur downslope and cause soil, rock, and plant life to move perceptibly downward and outward as a result of the force of gravity. The magnitude and frequency of landslides in mountainous terrains can vary greatly, and each one can cause significant harm to both human life and property. Also, the interruption of the communication network is caused when there are frequent blockages. In addition, the region’s geological environment has been negatively impacted, and it is in a state of permanent danger due to the fact that its many components are continuously deteriorating. An estimated eighty percent of all landslides that occur in other parts of the world are caused by human activity. This study is a case study that looks at the geological features that make the soil more likely to slide, as well as the effects of those features and what can be done to stop or lessen them. The study was done in relation to the slope instability of the South Hlimen landslide
