| Summary: | In the distribution of landslides on the territory of the North Caucasus, there is a regularity associated with the latitudinal zonality of the climatic and geological conditions of landslide formation. On the territory of the North Caucasus, landslides of sliding, squeezing out, upflow of the current, subsidence and complex, distinguished by the mechanism of mixing, are developed. General factors - the processes of formation of landslides in all types: causing a change in the configuration of slopes (an increase in their height and steepness to values exceeding the critical ones for this type of rock; bottom and side erosion); causing a regressive change in the physical and mechanical properties of rocks (weathering, moistening of surface and ground waters); causing additional pressure on rock masses (hydrodynamic and hydrostatic pressure, seismic shocks); anthropogenic, causing changes in slopes and slopes (undercutting, and artificial watering, overloading with dumps and earthworks, vibrodynamic loads).
