What are some important clues that indicate that a slope has experienced landslide activity in the
distant past? What will be an ideal response?
Landslide areas commonly have irregular (hummocky) terrain, depressions with or without standing
water, amphitheater-like overall shape, an absence of through-going stream channels, concentrations of
water-loving plants, and spring lines along their margins. These features stand out in contrast to
adjacent hill slope areas. In a broad sense, landslide affected slopes are flatter than surrounding areas.
Ironically, this has attracted development in some areas because of reduced grading costs
