"The causes of landslides are not a mystery to mankind. Layers of rock and soil such that rain running along a clay or rock layer can create a slippery surface for the weight of the layers above it is a common cause. A rock jumble from previous mountain building, broken or fractured rock easily dislodged. We have stated that the earthquakes man experiences between the periodic passages of Planet X can be considered aftershocks from the last passage, and this is true of landslides also. Mountain building rumples the landscape, so the land is not flat but has steep ravines and hill sides. Older mountain ranges are recognized for their rounded or smoothed appearance, because of frequent landslides distributing the rubble.
"As we approach another passage, another Pole Shift, the pace of landslides has picked up. Why would this be? Plates under pressure will put pressure on regions that contain rumpled hillsides and deep ravines, as these give more readily than strictly flat land, thus act as a weak link. In addition, due to the wobble, the weather has gotten more extreme, with drought and deluge increasing in extremes. Dry ground, suddenly flooded with rainwater needing to seek its level as runoff, will create internal water slides between the rock and soil layers that constitute the rumpled hillsides. Is there an early warning system that mankind could use? The trembles that soil about to slide emits could be detected, yes. These are not earthquakes, and have their own frequency. "

They are one of the most iconic symbols of British independence and the inspiration for one of the most famous wartime songs.
But walkers have been warned to take care when walking along a stretch of the famous White Cliffs of Dover after tonnes of chalk crashed into the English Channel when part of the cliff-face sheared off.
A giant mound of clay was left on the shore near St Margaret's Bay after the collapse between between Dover and Deal in Kent.
Landslide: Tonnes of chalk were left piled on the Kent coastline after part of the White Cliffs of Dover collapsed
Warning signs: The collapse happened in St Margaret's Bay between Dover and Deal in Kent, and the National Trust has now put up signs telling walkers to beware further collapses in the area
Dover Coastguard said a bench and fencing which sat on the cliff-top were also sent tumbling to the base, prompting warnings to coastal walkers.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
The collapse is thought to have been caused by a combination of high winds and rain freezing after being absorbed into the chalk and then expanding, causing the cliff to weaken.
A similar collapse saw a chunk of the cliff-face slip in March last year.
A Dover Coastguard spokesman said: 'There was a similar fall in 2012 but this one is smaller than that one. A bench and fence have gone down with it.

One of Britain's best-loved beauty spots - the Jurassic Coast in Dorset - has had a tectonic makeover after a huge landslip sheared the clifftop in half.

Geology experts are now warning ramblers and dog-walkers to avoid area fearing it could crumble even more.
