  • Mass movements in the Julian Alps (Slovenia) in the aftermath of the Easter earthquake on April 12, 1998
    Natek, Karel ; Komac, Blaž ; Zorn, Matija
    The Easter earthquake on April 12, 1998, in Julian Alps, besides enormous damage on residential and other buildings, has also caused a large number of slope failures. Hundreds of small rockfalls were ... released directly by the main earthquake or in the following days due to aftershocks. Most of them originated on the mountain crests and upper parts of slopes, which clearly confirms the thesis about the direct influence of relief on the amplitude of earthquake waves (i.e. topographic amplification). Besides those phenomena thearticle presents two other major events, which despite the timeremoteness from the main earthquake, may be connected to ground movements caused by earthquakes: debris flow which on November 17, 2000, destroyed the mountain village of Log pod Mangartom, and landslide of December 22, 2001, above the Koseč village, which still threatens its inhabitants. The main reason why such natural events have not caused much more damage so far in Slovene mountains, is mostly in rather safe position of settlements what is also clearly visible on the potential landslide hazard map.
