1. Event: A large landslide occurred in a mountain hillside near a large, populated city in a sunny summer day (figure below). It is known that a road was constructed at the hillside slope, and the rocks of the sliding region were highly weathered limestone. 24 Question: Mention at least 3 hypotheses for this event.
