Summary

On the Russian platform the landslides in almost horizontal beds, associated with the squeezing out or squashing of clay layers, start to originate on the slopes that are the higher, the older these clays are. The origin of superficial landslides is frequently the result of deep landslides. The influence of climate on the distribution of landslides is less expressed than the influence of geological conditions.

Résumé

Sur la plate-forme russe, les glissements de terrain dans les couches presque horizontales, provoqués par le pressurage ou par l’écrasement des couches argileuses, commencent à se former sur les versants d’autant plus hauts que ces couches sont plus agées. Le développement des glissements superficiels est souvent la conséquence des glissements profonds. L’influence de climat sur la distribution des glissements est moins prononcée que celle des conditions géologiques.
