Title
Landslide Hazards along River Corridors - Top of main landslide (steep slopes on top of a slide) / lsr ds topofmainscarp line [Washington (State)--King County]
Description
Where fluvial or coastal erosion has created steep, high slopes in glacial sediments, these slopes sometimes fail in large, deep-seated landslides. The segregation of landslides into deep and shallow is somewhat arbitrary and different investigators have used different criteria to differentiate these landslides. For this project, the differentiation follows the criteria proposed by Burns and Madin (2009) that deep-seated slides extend to a depth of more than 15 ft. (4.6 m.). In general this corresponds to individual landslides which are large enough to be distinct on hillshade images generated from LiDAR data. For this mapping, deep-seated landslides may include features where the failure plane is more than 15 ft. deep or where landslide debris accumulates to a depth of more than 15 ft. In King County, a variety of landslide types occur at a scale that may create deep-seated landslides.
