Extensive landslides and ridge-top failures occurred in the epicentral are of the Loma Prieta earthquake. These failures have been subdivided into four categories: (1) small rockfalls, dry debris flows, minor slumps, wedge-failure landslides along highway cut-slopes, and sea cliff failures; (2) ridge-top fractures dominated by tensional separation; (3) crown scarps of incipient landslides on the axes of steeply-plunging, steed-sided spur ridges; and (4) remobilized portions of existing large-scale rotational landslide complexes. These failures are described in detail.
