A comparative study on torrential slide shortcoming zones and causative factors using machine learning techniques: a case study of an Indian state

Landslides are a dangerous geomorphological phenomenon frequently occurring in mountain terrain. Landslides cause many geomorphological inclinations, including rockslides, slope recession, and minor debris continuing to flow. Typically, slope failures are without prior notice. It provokes significant damage throughout roads, railways and connecting infrastructures, affecting all modes of public transport, civilised residential apartments, cultivating farms, valleys, dense forests, and so on. This geomorphological transformation may result in massive loss of people's livelihoods and belongings, mineral wealth critical to the nation's economy, and economic development depletion in urban areas. However, one of the primary causes of the mudslide occurrence is the financial diminishment of the peak district. The probability of catastrophic landslides over the Western Ghats' downwind slope during heavy downpours relates to the region's particular geomorphology and environment. According to Kerala's peculiar geomorphological environment, the southwestern monsoons' annual precipitation causes catastrophic landslides. As a result, the latest research was carried out to investigate the landforms of the terrain in-depth, which seems dominated by tectonic plates, to determine its influence on landslides. This chapter also attempts to learn more about landslides and the various factors that influence landslides that suit Indian terrain and environmental conditions.
