Geertsema said Swiss scientists are becoming increasingly convinced that climate change is playing a role in the frequency of rock slides after looking at data from instruments measuring temperature and the widening and narrowing of gaps in the rocks in the Alps.
Could it be because of the frequency of earthquakes? It would be interesting to see a graph displaying both occurrences. Found the earthquake graph.
Preparedness for landslides.
