Abstract

Landslide blocks in a huge landslide have a fractal character. Their fractal dimension with respect to width averages 1.24 and with respect to length 1.44, Our limited data indicate that the fractal dimension is independent from the base rock geology. Huge landslides can be classified into first-, second-, and third-level blocks based mainly on the size of the blocks. Second- and third-level landslide blocks also have unique fractal dimensions. The fractal character of landslides can be explained by a) self-similar geometry and b) unique fractal dimensions made by combining second- and third-level blocks.
