landslides are the major natural hazard, causing significant damage to properties, lives and engineering projects in all mountainous areas in the world. in order to estimate the role of the landslides in erosion processes and evaluation of their risks, it is necessary to quantify landslides. this quantifying can be performed by applying the probability distributions that show the landslide size ...
