Peat has accumulated over a long number of years in waterlogged conditions It consists mainly of sphagnum moss as well as leaves roots seeds of other plants including grasses sedges shrubs and trees Peat contains a high level of moisture and organic (iii) Heavy and prolonged rainfall: Water is commonly the primary factor triggering a landslide. Slides often occur following intense rainfall, when storm water runoff saturates soils on steep slopes Mitigation. . Bob Hickey. Although gravity acting on an over-steepened slope is the primary reason for a landslide, there are other contributing factors. The term landslide includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows. . Wales (...woodland and HNV). Bridget .
