Coastal Landslides

A shot of an earthquake-triggered landslide on south coast of Haiti near village of Nan Diamant as a result of the M7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010. According to official estimates, the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti injured 300,000 people, displaced 1.3 million, and left 97,294 houses destroyed and 188,383 damaged in Port-au-Prince and much of southern Haiti. This large, shallow earthquake produced violent shaking in Léogâne, west of Port-au-Prince. This shaking level can cause damage even to well-built buildings anywhere in the world.
