World’s Worst Landslide Disasters for Kids (An Encyclopedia of World’s Worst Disasters for Kids Book 3) 

The planet is affected by several natural disasters everyday. Some of them are considered regular occurrences, especially minor ones that are not capable of causing significant damage to the affected areas. However, some are massive enough to cause widespread panic due to the severe destruction they inflicted. Landslides, or landslips, are among the deadliest natural disasters in the world. Landslides refer to several forms of masses – earth, rocks, debris, and other materials – that move down a steep slope. The Earth’s surface is made up of many layers. When the top layer separates from the bottom, a landslide occurs as gravity pulls the loose layer downward. They can happen in various environments, including mountain ranges, coastal cliffs, underwater (submarine landslides), and outer space (extraterrestrial landslides). Over the years, there have been numerous costly and deadly landslides that plagued several communities. Some were even capable of burying entire towns and villages underground, leaving thousands of casualties in their wake.
