Using plants distribution pattern to determine potentially unstable zone on the top of sea cliffs in Gurdim (Gulf of Oman, Iran)

摘要: Determination of hazard zones or potentially unstable on the top sea cliffs to prevent construction in coastal areas is an important issue management. On high elevated Gurdim, Iranian coastline Gulf Oman, plants have grown and distributed along lines parallel cliff line likely relating covered invisible cracks. In present study, first, probable relation between special distribution pattern mass movements was assessed according field observations as well correlation different geometric factors landslides. Then, were estimated plants. Also, drawn these using previous criteria methods order be compared with determined by pattern. Finally, some proposed estimate for purpose management northern rocky coastlines Oman.
