The most extensive landslides occurred in Tandikat, Padang Pariaman Regency.
The most extensive landslides occurred in Tandikat, Padang Pariaman Regency, burying hundreds of people, and flattening some villages (Figure 1).
Existing literature predicted that extensive landsliding, particularly under wet conditions, was likely to occur in the region in the years immediately following the earthquake.
Here, we combine seismology, aftershock relocations, space-based geodesy, and tectonic geomorphology to understand earthquake, to place it in an active tectonic context, and to map the extensive landslides on Mt. Kinabalu.
It also triggered extensive landslides along the steep slopes of Mt. Kinabalu, including rockfalls that killed 18 people and injured at least 21 more along climbing trails on the steep mountain face (Chan 2015).
On September 30 , 2009 extensive landslides occurred in Tandikat, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, burying hundreds of people, and flattening some villages after a Mw 7.6 earthquake hit West Sumatra coast.
The survey has collected new observational data on the extensive coastal landslides, as well as the distribution, nature and mechanism of failure of the lesser-studied inland examples.
We hypothesize that the unilateral rupture enhanced ground shaking north of Mt. Kinabalu and whereby triggered relatively extensive small landslides north of the mainshock epicenter and few to the south.
