LANDSLIDES ZONATION HAZARD: RELATION BETWEEN GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES AND LANDSLIDES OCCURRENCE IN HILLY TROPICAL REGIONS OF BRAZIL

Landslides Zonation Hazard: relation between geological structures and landslides occurrence in hilly tropical regions of Brazil

ABSTRACT This paper presents a new approach of landslides zonation hazard studies, based on an integrated study of structural data along with geomorphological and external factors, in a hilly regions of Brazil, covered by a tropical humid rain-forest, called Serra do Mar.The Serra do Mar consists butterfly cupcake liners of a hilly region along the
