Cloud X Earthflow, behold Cloud Beasts! 😭

New Quirk Name: Sandstorm

This Emitter type Quirk allows the user to make condensed clouds of dust from their body. These clouds are up to half the size of the user, and the user can make six of them at a time. The user can move and control these clouds over medium ranges. This control extends to the shape of the clouds as well, able to condense further into rocks to take on a myriad of forms. This can be anything from simple shapes to even appendages like hands or feet. For example, the user could make one of the clouds break up into various spikes, combine them back together to make a wall, only to then fire them out as a set of hands. This gives the user a versatile ability, able to take this super flexible material and shape it into whatever they wish. They can blind other people with the dust, set up earthen defenses to protect others, capture others in the stone, make flying platforms to get around on, cover them in earthen constructions to augment their fighting styles, work to stabilize structures, or simply use it to huck giant rocks at people. Though the user has a capped supply of this dust, limiting how far they can spread and cover with it, potentially leaving them overwhelmed. The dust can end up being blown apart or weakened by elements like water or fire, hampering the user's control.

INTRODUCTION:

Rock falls and landslides are natural geological processes involving the movement of rock, soil, and debris down a slope due to gravity. These events can be triggered by a variety of factors, including natural forces and human activities, and can occur suddenly, causing significant damage to landscapes, infrastructure, and life.Rock FallsA rock fall is a type of mass movement where individual rocks or small groups of rocks become detached from a steep slope or cliff and fall freely through the air. It usually occurs on slopes with fractured rock formations, where weathering, water infiltration, or seismic activity can cause the rock to become unstable. Key triggers include:Freeze-thaw cycles: Water enters cracks, freezes, and expands, breaking the rock apart.Erosion: Undercutting by water or wind can remove supporting material from beneath the rock.Seismic activity: Earthquakes or vibrations can dislodge rocks from cliffs or steep slopes.LandslidesA landslide refers to the movement of a large mass of earth material, including rock, soil, and debris, down a slope. Landslides can vary in speed from slow movements to rapid flows, depending on the materials involved and the steepness of the slope. There are several types of landslides:Slumps: A type of rotational landslide where a mass of earth moves along a concave surface.Debris flows: Fast-moving landslides that involve a mix of water-saturated rock, soil, and debris.Earthflows: Slower, more fluid movements of fine-grained soil.Causes of Rock Falls and LandslidesBoth rock falls and landslides are triggered by a combination of natural processes and human activities:Natural triggers: Rainfall, snowmelt, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and erosion can all contribute to slope instability.Human activities: Deforestation, mining, construction, and road building can destabilize slopes, increasing the likelihood of landslides.ImpactsRock falls and landslides can have devastating effects on the environment, infrastructure, and human life.

1.) Rock fall - involves individual rocks or a mass of rocks detaching from a steep slope or cliff and free-falling through the air.It typically occurs in mountainous areas, on cliffs, or along roads with steep cuts.Causes can include weathering, freeze-thaw cycles, or earthquakes.The falling rocks can gain high speed and may lead to significant damage when they hit the ground.Often localized and involves smaller volumes of material compared to landslides.Landslide.

2.)A landslide refers to the movement of a mass of earth, rock, or debris down a slope.It can be triggered by natural events like heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic activity, or human activities like deforestation or construction.Landslides often involve large volumes of material and can travel over long distances.Types of landslides include rotational slides, translational slides, debris flows, and earthflows, depending on the type of material and the nature of the movement.

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, while both rock falls and landslides are forms of mass movements caused by gravity, they differ in scale, movement, and the material involved. Rock falls are sudden, involve individual rocks, and are often localized, whereas landslides typically involve a large mass of earth or debris moving down a slope over a larger area. Both phenomena pose significant risks to human safety and infrastructure, but with proper monitoring, slope stabilization, and hazard mitigation techniques, the impacts can be reduced.

Effective Strategies for Landslide Mitigation: Protecting Lives and Infrastructure

Landslides, often triggered by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities, pose a significant threat to both human lives and infrastructure. These natural disasters can result in tragic consequences, including loss of life, property damage, and disruption of communities. Effective landslide mitigation strategies are essential to minimize the impact of these events. In this article, we will explore some of the most effective strategies for landslide mitigation and the critical role they play in protecting lives and infrastructure.

Understanding the Landslide Hazard

Landslides are the downhill movement of rock, soil, and debris under the influence of gravity. They can occur suddenly and vary in scale, from small, shallow soil slips to large, catastrophic events. Landslides can be categorized into various types, including rockfalls, debris flows, and earthflows, each with its own characteristics and triggers.

Landslides are common in areas with steep slopes, loose or compacted soil, and heavy precipitation, making regions near mountain ranges and hilly terrains especially vulnerable. Human activities, such as construction and deforestation, can also increase the risk of landslides by destabilizing the natural landscape.

Effective Landslide Mitigation Strategies

Landslide Hazard Mapping: Accurate mapping of landslide-prone areas is the first step in mitigation. Geological and geotechnical studies help identify vulnerable regions, enabling authorities to implement protective measures in high-risk zones and regulate construction.

Vegetation Cover: The preservation and restoration of natural vegetation are essential for landslide mitigation. Planting trees, shrubs, and grasses on slopes can reinforce the soil, reducing erosion and landslide risk. Their root systems help bind soil particles together.

Slope Stabilization Techniques: Various engineering methods can be employed to stabilize slopes and prevent landslides. These techniques include retaining walls, soil nails, and rock bolts, which reinforce the terrain and prevent soil movement.

Drainage Management: Proper drainage systems are crucial to divert surface and subsurface water away from slopes. Excess water can saturate soil, increasing its weight and decreasing its stability. Effective drainage systems include ditches, culverts, and surface channels.

Terracing and Grading: Terracing and grading involve reshaping steep slopes to create level surfaces with smaller inclines. This reduces the potential for soil movement and minimizes the risk of landslides.

Early Warning Systems: Installing monitoring equipment, such as inclinometers, piezometers, and ground movement sensors, can provide early warning of slope instability. When warning signs are detected, residents and authorities can take preventive actions.

Structural Reinforcement: Infrastructure located in landslide-prone areas can be retrofitted to withstand the impact of landslides. Techniques like using flexible foundations, structural isolation, and slope-resistant designs can minimize damage to buildings and roads.

Educational Campaigns: Public awareness is a critical aspect of landslide mitigation. Community education programs inform residents about the risks and necessary precautions to take in landslide-prone areas. Being informed and prepared can save lives.

Case Studies in Landslide Mitigation

Several regions around the world have successfully implemented landslide mitigation strategies to protect lives and infrastructure.

Hong Kong, China: Hong Kong has embraced extensive vegetation planting on steep slopes to reduce landslide risk. Terracing and slope stabilization techniques have been widely employed to secure slopes and maintain urban development.

Norway: In Norway, effective early warning systems and real-time monitoring of slopes vulnerable to landslides have been implemented. The combination of advanced technology and active community engagement has proven successful in reducing landslide-related risks.

Japan: Japan, a country with a long history of dealing with landslides, has established comprehensive landslide risk management plans. These plans include forest preservation, structural reinforcement of infrastructure, and early warning systems to protect vulnerable communities.

Switzerland: Switzerland's landslide mitigation strategy involves extensive geological surveys, hazard mapping, and the installation of protective structures, such as rockfall barriers. This proactive approach has helped reduce the impact of landslides on communities and transportation networks.

The Ongoing Challenge of Landslide Mitigation

While effective strategies for landslide mitigation exist, challenges persist in implementing them worldwide. Funding, resource limitations, and rapid urbanization in vulnerable areas can hinder mitigation efforts. Climate change, leading to more intense rainfall and increased weather-related events, further complicates the situation.

Mitigating landslides requires collaboration among governments, researchers, and communities. Public awareness and education campaigns are instrumental in ensuring that individuals living in landslide-prone areas understand the risks and know how to respond.

In conclusion, landslides remain a significant threat to lives and infrastructure in many regions. Effective landslide mitigation strategies, including hazard mapping, vegetation cover, drainage management, and structural reinforcement, are essential in reducing the risk and consequences of landslides. Combining these strategies with early warning systems and community education is crucial to safeguarding vulnerable areas and minimizing the impact of these natural disasters.

My Hero Academia S6EP5

aka: run for your damn lives

It really took me this long to remember that Shigaraki takes the cape from X-Less, oops.

Mmm the OP is just a feel good song, which is ironic given the disaster that’s about to happen.

Bro the fact Miruko still tries to get up and fight after all she’s been through is astounding.She’s got one amazing fighting spirit.

X-Less I dunno why you just stood there, ya should’ve ran when you had the chance man.

“I knew that he was strong, but he’s the first person to break free of my fat!” Oh, really? Good for Tokoyami then I suppose.

Our boy coming in to save his mentor at the perfect time.

“Think about it, you bbq’ed birds,” Pftt they both really don’t like fire at all huh.

I didn’t think Fatgum screaming out “A bottom!” would’ve tripped me up as much as it did, but yeah. It was hilarious.

GETEN!! Look at you!! What a beautiful man!

Aw, so much emotion from Tokoyami.

Giving us quite a lot of simple panning shots while the first is speaking to Midoriya aren’t they..

I forgot that’s how Crust actually dies.. by saving Aizawa and falling to decay? With a smile on his face and a thumbs up? Oh dude, rest in peace.

Sweet lord, Shigaraki’s decay has so much range now.

Pixie-Bob’s earthflow and Todoroki’s ice both completely useless against stopping it too.

“Come, Machia. Let’s start with everyone.” Ohh y’all are gonna be in so much more trouble now.

Wait, over already? Ah that felt too short!

Crystallize & Earthflow OR Absorb and Release QM?

New Quirk Name: Rock Out

This Transformation type Quirk allows the user to cover their body in large, stony outcroppings. The user can control and shape this stone on their body. The user can grow this earth over short ranges. The user has fine control over this and can form it into a variety of shapes, such as extra arms to grab someone or weaponry made out of sharpened rocks. The user can even get more complex with this and merge parts of the earth together, such as forming a winged, beastly exoskeleton out of all of the earth around their body to battle their foes. The user can still move with these additions, in spite of the extra weight. This gives the user a good mix of options, able to shift and move the earth on them into various forms. They can form various weapons out of their body, armor themselves up to deflect attacks, augment their body with new appendages, demolish their foes in close quarters, or simply use it to camouflage themselves against the landscape. Though this is limited to the user's body and they cannot control any of the stone that is removed from them, limiting their area of influence. The armor can still be knocked off by the user, potentially causing damage to them directly.

"Every beginning of fall, all the kids and apprentices of earthflower gather around the leader den, the leader breezflower then tell's them a story about a great batter of "the one who controls the storm and the sea" and "the watcher of the sky", a battle that last 20 Years,the battle caused a large imbalance of the realm sinking island's and darkening sky's the battle was terrifying, untill the mysterious boy with a tribe of Warriors by his side, the sky elder monster retreated but not sea dragon she stood her ground and showed off her power, then all of a sudden a large water lady came out the ocean and ripped her gems off her head, then the young by banish the elder monster never be seen again, some say if you go out to the sea at nigh and just listen you can still here her cry.."

(Day 11 ocean, here's my second attempt at drawing water, but i get better, for this prompt i went with wojlira because first i like her and second i was intrigued by there lore in the series and went why not, so i made an interpretation for the flower clans on there legends, tell me what you guys think on the story so far i really interested on your thoughts!.)
