List of landslides

This list of landslides is a list of notable landslides and mudflows divided into sections by date and type. This list is very incomplete as there is no central catalogue for landslides, although some for individual countries/areas do exist. Volumes of landslides are recorded in the scientific literature using cubic kilometres (km3) for the largest and millions of cubic metres (normally given the non-standard shortening of MCM) for most events.

1950-now Siguas Valley and Vitor valley, Peru 12 landslides of 20-80 MCM Destroying critical international highway and river valleys below. Irrigation of arid plateaus, expansion of farmland definitive cause of long-term moving slides. [157]
Rediscovered 1983 Åkerneset, Norway 18-54 MCM Ca. 2 metres (6.6 ft) wide in 1983, a 500-metre (1,640 ft)-long crack in the slope of the mountain Åkerneset is widening 4 centimetres (1.6 in) per year. Moving slab of rock is at elevation of 150 to 900 metres (490 to 2,950 ft) and is 62 metres (203 ft) thick. Eventual catastrophic collapse into Sunnylvsfjorden (depicted in 2015 film The Wave) could generate megatsunamis of 35 to 100 metres (115 to 328 ft) in height. [158]
