Ground Movement
Ground movement refers to the shifting or displacement of the Earth's surface, which can occur due to various natural processes. These processes include earthquakes, landslides, and soil erosion. Ground movement can lead to changes in the landscape, affecting both natural ecosystems and human structures.
In urban areas, ground movement can cause damage to buildings, roads, and other infrastructure. Monitoring ground movement is essential for assessing risks and implementing safety measures. Technologies such as GPS and satellite imagery are often used to track these changes and help predict potential hazards.
