Abstract:Slope movements are one of the natural hazards that most affect volcanic islands and often cause alarm to society, as they produce considerable material losses, affect communications and basic community services and, on occasion, involve the loss of human lives. Based on the classification of geotechnical units of the Canary Islands and the characteristic slope movements observed in each of them, the main goal of this article has been to elaborate a classification of movements versus units, as a tool for the m… Show more
