Now if we could only figure out why this occurs. This shot came from somewhere over Sukothai.

I assume the lower ground of the forest was burned down and left without any roots or smaller plants that are able to slow down the water from running down the mountain.

Several million years ago an ape stood up and walked on 2 legs. It learnt to make tools and harness fire. The same ape today has never learned that to mess with nature and the environment, results in what we have now, with environmental pollution and destruction on land, sea and air.

 

Avarice and ignorance will be the end of mankind.

And it still happens all around the world, with some very large companies in the lead

Good pic showing the problem at distance. The forests are so important in many ways and the reduction of them is one driver of climate change. Wet soil and debris up on the elevated slopes is now free to combine with the storm water and then slide, due to lack of tree canopy and roots, which would have previously protected and bound that soil in place.
