3 days of cliff landslide all caught on camera at Pentreath, Lizard, Cornwall

Amazing happening but hard to watch with the camera swinging up and down. Once we see where it's going, just showing the main collapse or zooming out a bit would have been nice. Great and amazing capture though.

A local golf course was partly on a hill by Lake Michigan. The course wanted to improve the view for golfers so asked permission from Michigan's environmental agency to cut down all the trees on the slope. No. A year later the course cut down all the trees anyhow. Two years after that most of the damn hill and golf course slid down into Lake Michigan.

[@AvanaVana]

Great video. Traditionally, geology teaches “uniformitarianism”, that is, geological change happens very slowly and constantly, the same way over long periods of time. But these days it’s becoming clearer that landscape change is effected by punctuated equilibria, that most of the change we see and a lot of the geological record is created very quickly, in comparatively rare, but massive events, that are part of a continuum of events logarithmically scaled from the most frequent and smallest events, to the rarest, most massive events. Most of the change in a landscape is created during just a few high flux events, interspersed with long periods of time in more of an equilibrium state, where relatively little is happening. Valleys are formed this way, not by a grain of sand every second for a million years, but by 100 year floods, massive landslides, and other highly erosive and dramatic events, that happen every once in a while, over that same timespan.

[@mattholyer1899]

Thanks. I'm happy to be corrected but I understood that uniformitarianism has a broader definition than that, "the present is the key to the past"; therefore it's not just a theory describing minute changes over long periods of time but also any large sudden changes we might expect to see today (including once in 1,000 year event's) or in the geological record. But I 100% agree with you that the geological record is by it's very nature biased towards major high energy events that will easily overwrite the day to day "mundane", as simply shown by the Hjulström curve for water flow rate. The theory of uniformitarianism gets stretched very thin when looking as far back as Precambrian time's though, as a hotter mantle, shorter day's and no land plants make for some excitingly different event's! But the same law's of physics apply, so long as you correct for the differences I'd say the theory still stands true, even back then?

[@AvanaVana]

@@mattholyer1899 I think there are different levels of 'uniformity' that people subscribe to. I really just wanted to make the simple point that the geological record and the landscape are both more affected by these large-scale rare events than by the kind of day-to-day effects of time.

[@albionjq]

quite a strange reaction to a landslide, laughing

[@QUIX4U]

What a pity. ZOOMED IN (way too close) means we all lost the entire "slope" moving as a whole, instead all we get to see - is every rock, pebble and or piece of sand/grass slip - without seeing the entire "picture" ? At times I caught an occasional "glimpse" (fleeting at best) of the top of the ridgeline slowly dropping (whilst the person with the camera was hell bent of swinging it all around trying t "fit" everything in, to a way too closely zoomed in "tiny view" ? WHY? Why didn't you simply "un-zoom" to get the entire view in the one position - as a wide-angled view. IF VIEWERS want to see specific parts falling, they themselves can PAUSE the video (or slow it down) to see individual collapses. Zooming in and madly swinging the camera around, means YOU saw it whilst there, but anyone watching the video - has to contend with the IRIS trying to steady the picture, as well as alter it's focal length - for colour etc.. Making this to be way too useless to watch. Oh sure - we get to see, this rock & that pebble, and a bit of sand with a clump of grass here and there. NOT a total hillside collapse (all at the same time)

[@sarkybugger5009]

You said precisely what I came down here to say. I would only add to your dismay by saying that laughing like an idiot didn't help. Even Portrait mode, if held steady, would have been preferable to this. (But only just.)

[@QUIX4U]

​@Dave BACK UP means take your finger OFF the "zoom-in" button, (as THAT is all we eventually got after the operator zoomed in & out way too many times before LEAVING IT "zoomed in too close" so that all we viewers get to see later - is a "tiny highlighted" blade of grass / or a pebble in high definition / or a few little grains of sand - & not the entire slip face "look") BACK UP - means get the camera OUT of "zoom" to allow us to have that BACK UP view, from the place you stood, a long way away from the cliff itself. BACK UP, doesn't mean to "walk backwards" with the camera still ZOOMED IN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It also means - for goodness sake, stop wasting time watching the wee stream of mud & other crap - making it's messy river way - to the SEA.. It means - stay ON the main subject. LEAVE the camera OUT of any form of "zoom" and keep the daMned thing as steady as possible - on the entire SINGLE WIDE VIEW, to let us see the entire cliff, from top to bottom (not a tiny section here or there at ten times magnification (zoomed in) @Rose is absolutely correct - BACK UP (in other words, take your finger OFF the zoom in close button & let the camera itself BACK UP to a wide-open view.

In geology these things are called mud flows. They can move pebbles, cobbles and if fast enough, it can move boulders. Basically you do not want to jump in there, it’s going to tear anything up since it’s going to fast.
