Landslide Hazards Maps by Canary Islands Government and GRAFCAN Sample Clauses

Landslide Hazards Maps by Canary Islands Government and GRAFCAN. There is not a system of hazard identification associated to dynamics slopes (landslides) in the Canary Islands. We can emphasize that the landslides (mudslides, landslides, flows) can be generated as a result of other risks because the equilibrium condition of a landmass is altered by other natural process. Therefore, we can say that both the Seismic Monitoring Network, as the Volcanic Surveillance Net and METEOALERTA, can serve as identification systems and surveillance of dangerousness by landslides. The hazard will be characterized by the soil conditions, soil type, rainfall, and various anthropic sources. • Intrinsic factors. Include the elements considered inherent instability of the slope, ie, existing on the hillside itself and can cause their movement, such as slope and lithology. The slope, which is a factor that determines the stability of existing buildings and volcanic slopes on the islands of the archipelago. The methodology used to calculate the hazard includes the analysis of the percentage of slope from the DEM. To determine the degree of fragility of the different lithologies have used the Continuous Digital Geological Map of the Canary Islands (GRAFCAN) and its lithologic groups that conform the islands. So, in each island have been distinguished 5 different types of land: - Clays - Sedimentary deposits - Rocky Massif with low resistance - Pyroclasts - Volcanic rock with high resistance. • Triggers. Including the elements considered as triggers of the movements of the slope, those that are external and that through its application can lead to instability of the slope (vertical and horizontal rainfall, seismicity, land use and road infrastructure). Currently the main source of slope instability is the saturation of the soil, being necessary to carry out an analysis of both vertical and horizontal precipitation in the Canary Islands. To define vertical precipitation the main tool is the database rain gauges managed by the National Institute of Meteorology, which has been completed with the rain gauges of the Canarian Institute of Agricultural Research (ICIA) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food, in the Canary Islands Government. The methodology used is similar to that developed on the basis of hydrological data of the danger of floods. From the data of meteorological stations, will be developed in raster format, isohyets (daily maximum precipitation) for a return period of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 years f...
