do u believe that landslide is a warning of mother nature and why?

Yes it is a warning. It is Mother Nature'f way of retaliating or taking away her covering - the trees. Trees are the earth's lungs. They also hold the top soil in place. Trees keep the ecosystem in place...take them away and you can't blame Mother Nature for getting angry!

That was in the island of Leyte, which has been experiencing a lot of landslides for the past ten years due to deforestation. Its a terrible sight. Very tragic. They're still looking for people buried under the earth.

well yeah its true . back then people even used to think that the rain was caused by GOD. the thunderstorm happened because GOD was Upset. and every 100 yrs they thought it was gonna be the end of the world. so why not to think that the moon was made of cheese.

Disasters are horrific regardless of their originals.  Possibly, you may find solace in the information provided below:\n\nNatural disasters\n\nA natural phenomenon can easily cause a natural disaster. Appearing to arise without direct human involvement, natural disasters are sometimes called an act of God. A natural disaster may become more severe because of human actions prior, during or after the disaster itself. A specific disaster may spawn different types of events and may reduce the survivability of the initial event. A classic example, is an earthquake that collapses homes, trapping people and breaking gas mains that then ignite, and burn people alive while trapped under debris. Human activity in risk areas may cause natural disasters. Volcanos are particularly prone to causing other events like fires, lahars, mudflows, landslides, earthquakes, and tsunamis.\n\nAvalanche\n\nAn avalanche is a slippage of built-up snow down an incline, possibly mixed with ice, rock, soil or plantlife in what is called a debris avalanche. Avalanches are categorized as either slab or powder avalanches. Avalanches are a major danger in the mountains during the winter as a large one can run for miles, and can create massive destruction of the lower forest and anything else in its path. For example, in Montroc, France, in 1999 300,000 cubic metres of snow slid on a 30 degree slope, achieving a speed of 100 km/h. It killed 12 people in their chalets under 100,000 tons of snow, 5 meters deep. The Mayor of Chamonix was charged with manslaughter. Avalanches are also predominant in the North American Rocky Mountains, as well as the Alps, the Himalayas, and the Andes. Most of the world's major ski resorts are just as prone to avalanches as Montroc was, and the seriousness of such a disaster is taken into precaution well. Some slopes are closed off due to excessive snow piling that could result in an avalanche. \n\nCold\n\nExtreme cold snaps are hazardous to humans and their livestock, and their cause is from sudden decreases in temperature. Their main causes though, are unknown, and normally they happen without warning and at random points of the year. In a [2003] Mongolian cold snap, almost 30,000 livestock animals perished due to excessive snow and cold.  When the temperature drops, calorie intake must increase to maintain body heat for shivering. \n\nDisease\n\nDisease becomes a disaster when it spreads in a pandemic or epidemic as a massive outbreak of an infectious agent. Disease is historically the most dangerous of all natural disasters. Different epidemics are caused by different diseases, and different epidemics have included the Black Death, smallpox, and AIDS. The Spanish flu of 1918 was the deadliest ever epidemic, it killed 25-40 million people. The Black Death, which occurred in the 14th Century, killed over 20 million people, one third of Europe's population. Plant and animal life may also be affected by disease epidemics and pandemics. Even at present, there are sudden outbreaks from diseases such as the avian flu that can harm modern society.\n\nDrought\n\nA drought is a long-lasting weather pattern consisting of dry conditions with very little or no precipitation. during this period, food and water supplies can run low, and other conditions, such as famine, can result. Droughts can last for several years and are particularly damaging in areas in which the residents depend on agriculture for survival. The Dust Bowl of the 1930's is a famous example of a severe drought. Some droughts can last from several months to several years, even decades if weather is prominent until then.\n\nEarthquake\n\nSan Francisco\n\nAn earthquake is a sudden shift or movement in the tectonic plate in the Earth's crust. On the surface, this is manifested by a moving and shaking of the ground, and can be massively damaging to poorly built structures. Some cities such as Tokyo and San Francisco (considered the most prone city to earthquakes)

It might make people think it is prone to flooding.

I don't know but I think mother nature just hates me. At 9AM she sees me leaving the house with freshly washed and straightened hair, and she makes sure that by the time I get to work I look like a poodle. WHY OH WHY?\n\nEdit- To everyone having a go at her... If she drove the kids to school, why would she care so much if it were raining?!

despite the idea of the earth changing drastically - this is still over millions of years .... in your life time, there will be no ice path from Russia to wherever.\n\nWhatever is going to happen with Mother Earth... well there is the general understanding that it will happen over time, a long time - though the oceans have increased two degrees over the past decade - thus the storms in the US of A have become stronger... but to the extent of total chaos due to Mother Nature - not likely going to happen in our life times .... though very cold winters and droughts, and large amountys of percipitaiton, and warm winters, hot summers, cold summers ... these are a part of the changes that are just normal.\n\nThere are some that say because of the rise in water temperature, that the ocean current may change drastically - making Europ very cold, and America very hot... some say there is already a 30% reduction in water that is in the current - bringing cold water to the warmer zones and vise versa - this caused by fossil fuel emmissions - in which case, yes this could be a very fast change, but this is man, not mother nature's doing.  Storms in America would then be ten times as strong, and climate in Europ - prevent a lot of crops from growing... yes this would be chaos, but not the chaos that you think of concerning an ice age.

It is indeed a threat...But so is global warming....have you noticed the weird weather lately?

Yeah, I've also seen all these natural disasters. Even in my country, last year there were about 10 or more floods, and this year one or more. Cause? Global polution, tree cutting.\nSomebody save the earth! plz!
496098
No\nVery generalised and vague. I can do the same thing:\nThere is going to be an earthquake, a flood, a drought. \nSome leader is going to kill thousands of innocents.\nHey, I am right again!

Annie, the issue really doesn't appear to be if global changes are happening but why. The movie has some truths to it but the alarmist nature of the movie is a bit over the top in my view and that of many others who have seen it. No doubt we must do what we can within reason to stop adding to a problem, but we also have to be able to reasonably show that us making a change would have an effect and not make decisions in haste that will negatively affect other unless they will make a difference. Not good to go off running and shouting about the sky falling unless it really is falling.\n\n\nedit: I applaud you thinking for yourself in this matter. Gather all the information you can find, check it out and make up your own mind rather than just fall in line.

my interpretation is that the existance of humanity will be long enuf to see the montains move. think of it this way, if you were omnipotent and watched thre earth through time you would see the lands shift and mountains melt away with erosion.

Water level will for a fact one day be a threat to the populations in certain areas but i highly doubt that it will occur anytime soon... maybe in a 100 years or more. I could be wrong though :(
1002784
yup! i agree with u....... \nthe  remedy is to atleast plant more trees and try not to mess up with mother nature in the name of developments.... \ndevelopments are good......... but who will be there to utilise it? \n\nwe are doing lot of bad than good to mother earth.... we need to start now.........

No. The Earth's moon is terrestrial, meaning it has a rocky surface.

who do you think you are? mother nature?

Also if there is a landslide say beside a damn... then a flood could happen , if the dam is takn out with the land slide.. then all the water held back by the dam will be released resulting in a flood.
