The ABCDE rule can be used to help you remember what a melanoma tumor typically looks like: 1  Asymmetry: The shape of one half of the mole does not match the other. 2  Border: The edges are ragged, notched, or blurred. 3  Color: The color is often uneven. Shades of black, brown, and tan may be present.
Landslides occur regularly in a variety of landscapes across every Australian State and Territory. These landscapes are commonly characterised by cliffs, steep slopes of colluvium deposits or gentle slopes of unstable geology and slopes which have been subjected to periods of prolonged or intense rainfall.
In addition, debris flows and mudflows usually occur in small, steep stream channels and often are mistaken for floods; in fact, these two events often occur simultaneously in the same area. Landslides can cause flooding by forming landslide dams that block valleys and stream channels, allowing large amounts of water to back up. This causes backwater flooding and, if the dam fails, subsequent downstream flooding.
