Geröllschüttung
Geröllschüttung, also known as rockfall, is a geological hazard that occurs when a mass of rock, loose rock, or soil suddenly breaks free from a slope and accelerates under the force of gravity. This phenomenon can be triggered by various factors such as earthquakes, heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or human activities like blasting or excavation.
Rockfalls can range in size from small boulders to large masses of rock that can weigh several
The impact of a rockfall can cause significant damage to infrastructure, such as roads, buildings, and power
Rockfalls are a natural process that contributes to the formation of landscapes and the deposition of sediment.
