síklemzés

Síklemzés is a term in Hungarian that refers to a specific type of landslide or ground movement. It describes the phenomenon where a mass of soil or rock slides along a relatively flat, inclined surface. This surface, known as a slip plane, is typically well-defined and can be found within the soil or rock layers. The movement is characterized by a distinct separation between the sliding mass and the stationary material.

The cause of síklemzés often involves the saturation of the ground, which reduces the shear strength of the soil or rock. Water pressure within the pores of the material can also contribute to the instability. Other contributing factors can include seismic activity, erosion at the base of a slope, or the presence of weak geological layers.

Síklemzés can occur in various geological settings, including natural slopes, road cuts, and even underwater environments. The consequences can range from minor ground deformation to catastrophic events that can cause significant damage to infrastructure and pose a threat to human life. Understanding the conditions that lead to síklemzés is crucial for risk assessment and mitigation efforts.
