Abstract

Classifications of the landslide landforms are not only a way of naming reality. This is the tool to analyze the main factors and triggers that cause the process and lead to the formation of the specific landforms. Field research conducted by the authors in Northern Vietnam allowed for a comprehensive review of the landslide forms identified in the region and proposed five specific landslide types based on three main criteria: type of rock on the sliding surface, permeability of the sliding surface, and depth of the sliding surface.
