Changing precipitation patterns can significantly affect landslides. Increased rainfall can saturate the soil, making it more prone to landslides. Intense or prolonged periods of rainfall can destabilize slopes, increasing the likelihood of landslides occurring. Conversely, decreased precipitation can lead to soil drying out, which can also trigger landslides by reducing the cohesion of the soil layers. Overall, changes in precipitation patterns can alter the stability of slopes and increase the risk of landslide occurrences.
