Question

NASA scientists use satellites to monitor two important factors that lead too landslides

Answer 1

Answer:

The most important factors that lead to landslides are the declivity of the terrain and the type of soil.

Explanation:

Stony soils are more prone to landslides, especially on steep terrain and without any type of vegetation cover. During heavy rainfall, these two factors can promote landslides that cause major disasters, as water is able to drag this soil violently. To prevent this from happening and people from being harmed, NASA has developed satellites, which capture rainfall data and monitor the slope and composition of soils, being able to see in advance areas that could be landslides. In this way, it is possible to develop strategies that prevent the landslide from happening.
