This part has been answered already. It can be accessed here: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?topic=755940.0

Generally speaking, causes over steepened slopes, adds weight to the top of the slope, increases the height of the slope can cause landslides.  Control where buildings are built on slopes.  Put up barriers or regrade the slope to prevent landslides.
