Lineaments
4. LANDSLIDES
Slope-instabilities developed in the
superficial quaternary deposits and terti-
ery sediments during the 16.11.1911-event
demonstrated the existence of potentially
hazardous secondary effects of earthqua-
kes. Various types of landslides are
common in parts of SW-Germany as for
example in the northwestern part of the
Lake Constance area. There landslides
occur after nearly every wet season of the
year. The detailed interpretation of
satellite radar and of LANDSAT TM-data,
as well as of aerial photographs
allows the detection of lineaments that
are coincident with fault and fracture
systems influencing slope instabilties.
Thus, lineament analysis contributes to
landslide hazard zoning. .and.. to ‚the
location of areas susceptible to slope
failure. This is of fundamental value
for planning purposes.
Satellite radar data from Southwest- Ger-
many have demonstrated their value as a
tool for earthquake damage-risk evalua-
tion.
