Today we experimented with different mediums (Snow, Water, and Dirt) and how quickly they heated and cooled. I learned that the snow cooled the quickestand melted really fast under heat. This relates to landslides in that when snow melts, the water that is formed mixes with dirt and creates a soupy mixture. The mixture slides off the hillsides.
