Study identifies California cliffs at risk of collapse

University of California - San Diego


Danger - Unstable Cliffs - Stay Back: The yellow warning signs that pepper coastal cliffs from northern California to the US-Mexico border may seem overly dramatic to the casual observer. But actively eroding cliffs make up the majority of the California coastline, and sudden landslides and collapses have caused injuries and several fatalities in recent years. In addition, eroding cliffs currently threaten highways, houses, businesses, military bases, parks, power plants, and other critical facilities--all in all billions of dollars of development.

All cliffs are at risk of collapse.

Collapse is a natural process of erosion and in the case of these cliffs, collapse is how they came to exist.

Awe, wouldn't it just suck if the cliff at Streisand's estate just went bye bye? All the way up to the front her property, that would just be poetic.
