"Dave's Landslide Blog" seems to do a pretty good job of providing photos and commentary on most major landslide / earth-moving-when-it-shouldn't events worldwide.

Where are all the people? If that were in the US there would be like a million people taking pictures with their cell phones, or falling in so they could sue the DOT.

Isn't gravity determined by density? I imagine if you look at the earth there is average gravity, and then if you look at parts in enough detail there may be spots with greater or lesser gravity.
Just a guess. Physics was over 30 years ago.

Yes, I read an article about a satellite that was going to scan the earth for a gravity map. I think they said it varies in a general pattern, less at the poles, more at the equator, plus lots of local abnormalities.
