Landslide

Tiltle: It is Our World and We are Responsible for it
Theme: Sharing the Planet
Central Idea: We are responsible determining causes of changes in our natural environment
Inquires Into: > The cause and effect and landslide on communites
> The possible solution to prevent the landslide
Our first inquiry:

A landslide is a rock, soil mud that run down from the hill. Basic of causation of the landslide happens because the effect of energy that is so strong and could move something down. And also, the gravity of our world could makes the land pulled down by gravity and the land will form like a hill. Landslide also could effected from the rainfall, water level and many more. Flood is one of the causation of landslide.
One of the landslides happens in Gunung Pancar in Indonesia, have an idea how to prevent the landslide that have happened before. They use a lot of big rocks and the rocks are prevented by net of type of wire. The gravity couldn't win from rocks so the gravity can't pull the land down. The land will not steep. The people who get victim there said that the cause of landslide is because of the heavy rain came along night. So, the land will rotten and it will fall down. The land in Gunung Pancar is so steep, so it possibly 15% to not getting the landslide.
63 of houses there were destroy and there's no one get hurt. The government didn't help them to build a house again with a free payment but, the government just give them three bags of cement and give them a houses just for a while and the place of houses not in the location.

This picture shows how they can prevent the landslide with lots of big rocks and tied together.
