Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A landslide in the Chongqing region of southern China. The landslide dropped some 12 million cubic meters onto several homes and an iron ore mine, trapping dozens of people. Mountain ridges run generally north-south through this area, and the landslide occurs on the western slope of the middle ridge shown in the image. A giant brown scar of bare land on an otherwise vegetated landscape, the landslide fans out toward the south west. The mountainside collapse appears to affect two roads—one road running along the top of the ridge, which borders the landslide, and another road to the west, which the landslide has partially buried. |
