First Inquiry Into

By: Melvin

My inquiry into's are "The cause and affect of landslide on communities" and "The possible solution to prevent landslide"

The cause and affect of landslide on communitites is a very interesting inquiry. My group is focusing on the landslide in Mount Pancar. The cause of this landslide is because the heavyrain that strikes them. But they didn't realize that this is also because of humans result. Because humans cut trees, the tree's root can't tide up the soil so the soil is very loose. Then after a heavyrain strikes the soil. The soil will easily slide down. Sometimes landslide are cause by Earthquake but the landslide happening in Mount Pancar is not because of an earthquake and it's sometimes because of humans. They just think for themselves not the other people. So now this landslide affect all of the people that live near Mount Pancar. About 60 house were destroy and other are damage. This is a very huge problem. Other than that the affect to the community make the people hard life becomes more hard. And they can't survive easily. The causation is because of humans, so we can still prevent it, it would be harder if it's a natural disaster. So the affect to the community it's very big and it made some of the villagers doesn;t work and have to have an extra work which is rebuild house.

You need to be clearer about the cause of the landslide in Gunung Pancar. How can you find out? Who else can you ask besides the victims from the area?
