A landslide occurred in Puxian County, Shanxi Province, and four traffic policemen were killed. What is the cause of the landslide?

Four traffic policemen were killed in a landslide in Putian County, Shanxi Province. There are two reasons for landslides, one is natural and the other is man-made.

I. Event Review The recent rainstorm in Putian County, Shanxi Province led to the landslide in Jingpo Village. After being washed away by the rain, the earth and stone poured down instantly, burying the road in the soil. The landslide came quickly, as if it buried everything in an instant.

Five people were buried in the landslide caused by heavy rain. It is reported that after overnight rescue, all five trapped people were rescued, but unfortunately, four people were killed and 1 person is being rescued in the hospital.

It is reported that the four victims were mainly traffic police on duty, and they may have been unfortunately suppressed by landslides in the process of diverting traffic. In the process of landslide, not only the soil but also the rolling stones were washed down.

These stones rushed down from the top of the mountain and hit people, and the consequences were unimaginable. Relevant departments also made emergency response to this heavy rainfall and released related matters. In order to be able to respond to emergencies quickly, relevant member units should prepare for emergency handling.

Second, the reasons for landslides There are two main reasons for landslides, namely, natural factors and human factors. Natural factors generally include heavy rainfall, earthquake and river erosion. The main reason is that natural forces make the mountain rock and soil relax, reduce its strength, and then tilt downward.

Take the rainstorm weather as an example. In the all-day rainstorm, rainwater seeps into the exposed part of the mountain, which increases the gap between rock and soil, and landslides will occur when the mountain is soaked in rain.

The other is human factors, which mainly refer to unreasonable mining or construction projects. Such as building roads, cutting down trees, digging quarries and so on. These unreasonable human behaviors forcibly break the mountain, leaving the mountain unbound and leading to landslides.

Under normal circumstances, in order to prevent landslides, the road sides will be blocked or intercepted to fix mountain debris. Generally, when the slope is greater than 10 degrees and less than 59 degrees, there are no natural or man-made obstacles, and landslides are easy to occur.

Third, it is said that a landslide occurred in Puxian County, Shanxi Province, which killed four traffic policemen. Usually there are two reasons for landslides, one is man-made and the other is natural.
