A geologic hazard is one of several types of adverse geologic conditions capable of causing damage or loss of property and life. These hazards consist of sudden phenomena and slow phenomena:Sudden phenomena include: 1  avalanches (snow, rock, or air & snow) and its runout. 2  earthquakes and earthquake-triggered phenomena such as tsunamis.3  forest fires (espec. in Mediterranean areas) leading to deforestation. Geologic hazards may be avoided by relocation. 2  The stability of sloping earth can be improved by the construction of retaining walls, which may use techniques such as slurry walls, shear pins, tiebacks, soil nails or soil anchors. 3  Larger projects may use gabions and other forms of earth buttress.
Other geologic hazards, like earthquakes, rockfall, mudslides, and avalanches are naturally occurring; but can wreak havoc on buildings, roads, and other engineered structures. The Colorado Geological Survey is actively involved in geologic hazards research throughout the state.hen humans move into this dynamic environment, these natural processes can become problematic as geologic hazards. For example, naturally occurring, inactive landslides may be triggered into renewed activity by the construction of roads or buildings that disrupt the stability of the slope.
