Fig. 1: Global distribution of the largest terrestrial landslides with estimated volumes of > 1 km3.
From: Size estimates of Earth’s largest terrestrial landslides informed by topographic setting
a Map of binned abundance with respect to local relief. b Distribution of mean local relief (within 15 km of landslides; blue) and fraction of total volume by topographic setting (orange); ESC – escarpment or anticline, FAULT – fault-bounded mountain front, GLAC – glacial valley, FLUV – river valley, VOLC – volcanic edifice. c Mean local relief by dominant rock type: PLUT – plutonic, META – metamorphic, VOLC – volcanic, VOLC + SED – volcanic and sedimentary, SED – sedimentary. d Mean local relief by climate zone of Köppen-Geiger classification87: A – tropical, B – dry, C – temperate, D – continental, E – polar/mountain. Boxes span interquartile ranges; whiskers are maximum and minimum values; thick blue lines are medians; numbers show sample size.
