Italy: Mass wasting

     Mass wasting usually happens when their are floods or large amount of rainfalls. Then the pressure of the water loosens the dirt and then causes a mud slide carrying other debris and materials along with it. It can cause loss to human life  to unsuspected citizens as well as property damage. In Italy in a town called La Spezia a land slide happened and it cause a truck to be pushed of the road and rolled down the hill. It was due to a large amount of rain about 400mm of rainfall and loosened the dirt causing this event. This can happen in a split second and if you do not listen to the news for information it can be very deadly. Being very cautious when it is rainy and being aware of what is being said about the weather and help save lives and hopefully help this from being more dangerous than it already is.
