Question

select the best evidence to support the statement that landslides can be caused by human mistakes.

in a landslide, rivers of rock, mud, and other debris move down a slope. they develop when water from rain or melting snow rapidly accumulates in the ground. they can flow rapidly, striking with little or no warning at avalanche speeds. they can also travel several miles from their source, growing in size as they pick up trees, boulders, cars, and other materials.

landslides can be caused when land isnt managed properly, particularly in mountain, canyon and coastal regions. in areas burned by forest and brush fires, even average amounts of precipitation may start a landslide.

adapted from ready.gov, \landslides & debris flow.\

Explanation:

The goal is to find evidence directly linking human actions (mistakes) to landslides. The text notes that improper land management (a human error) in specific regions causes landslides, which directly supports the statement.

Answer:

Landslides can be caused when land isn't managed properly, particularly in mountain, canyon and coastal regions.
