13, 14). Besides, here we can also see that the headscarp is a unique feature at this slope within its elevations range, which indicate non-climatic cause of its origin. Case studies described above demonstrate that presence of moraine material in the river-damming barriers does not exclude their rockslide origin. Combination of blockages and headscarps just above them proves that most of large natural barriers in the Pamirs river valleys, both existing and breached have been formed by rockslides, not by end moraines.

Strom Fig. 15 Seismicity of the Tien Shan Region. 58–408 N) and in some other parts of this mountain system with high concentration of large-scale landslides (outlined area is shown on Fig. g. —see McCall 2012 for the detailed review) are much more frequent. For example, 3 typhoons hit Taiwan annually on average (Jan and Chen 2005) while large earthquake occur at this island several times per century only (Hung 2000; Cheng et al. 2007). 6 Chi–Chi earthquake had triggered large Tsao-Ling landslide, 5 large-scale slope failures occurred since 1862, but only three of them—in 1862, 1941, and 1999—were triggered by earthquakes.

2011). The list can be expanded. Such a distinct association led to the situation when presence of large and/or long runout prehistoric rockslide is often equalized with an evidence of strong past earthquake without providing any additional reasons in favor of such assumption—just due to enormous size and expressiveness of these features. However, numerous large bedrock landslides had occurred without seismic triggering—the 1903 Frank rockslide 30 Mm3 in volume in Canada (Krahn and Morgenstern 1976), the above mentioned 1964 Aini landslide *20 Mm3 in volume in Tajikistan (Fedorenko 1988) (Prof.
