Melting snow in the Black Sea increases landslide risks!

Recently, rising temperatures in the Eastern Black Sea region have led to snow melting rapidly, causing an increase in landslides. Prof. Dr. Ayberk Kaya from Rize Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University links this situation to excessive rainfall.

Prof. Dr. Kaya stated, "The increase in soil weight leads to surface soil flow, causing mudslides and rockfalls," emphasizing the need for caution.

Signs of landslides include door and window jams, cracks in buildings, and tilting trees. It is crucial to seek expert advice when these signs are observed.

Experts emphasize the importance of caution in these situations. Due to the scattered settlement structures in the Eastern Black Sea, it is essential to consult experts before conducting any excavation work.
