A Landslide is a type of mass movement that occurs when a thin block of soil, rock, and debris separates from the underlying bedrock.
Actually, this thin block of soil and rocks were held by Tree's roots so it do not separated from the bedrock. Now days, more and more trees were cutted down for modern development, and more landslides happen because of this.

the water level of a stream or river exceeds its natural banks, it has reached
its flood stage. This is a real panic stage for people living nearby the rivers
and streams that has overflowed its natural banks. This flood situation can
destroy any city or village and also drastically impact the financial situation
of the area. Most cities and states move their citizens away from the river
banks before it reaches this danger stage. Before the emergence of
technological advancement, historical evidence proves that many great cities
were destroyed due to such situations. <span /></span>
Answer:
prohibits the introduction of invasive species
controls the kind of waste and pollutants allowed
assesses human influence on the environment
designates protected zones on the continent
Explanation:
These four key terms are some of what the Madrid Protocol includes.
Prohibiting the introduction of invasive species keeps the ecosystem from being dominated and/or destroyed by a single species that the ecosystem is not built to handle.
Controlling the kind of waste and pollutants allowed on the continent ensures that the environment remains stable without the influence of outside chemicals, such as oil or carbon emissions that could harm the ecosystems.
Assessing human influence on the environment keeps track who does what and how they do it, essentially preventing extreme human action from being taken so as to preserve Antarctica's natural order.
Designating protected zones on the continent that can only be accessed with special permits ensures that only people who require access for research or whatnot, or more simply, qualified personnel, are able to enter these zones, so as to keep contact down to a minimum and further preserve Antarctica's natural environment.
