Fault Scarps in Virgin Canyon
Lake Mead, USA, looking toward the Nevada side. As the reservoir filled, here and there the slopes of the surrounding canyon failed as they got soaked. I don't know the timescale offhand--I suspect they're still slowly sliding, but that most of the motion happened soon after the ground first got saturated. It's an example of geologic consequences from human activity! ;) Btw, with the current drought the lake in this area has pretty much returned to the original river channel.

Here we're dealing with highly fractured metamorphic rocks, and I suspect what's happened is that the water has lubricated fractures that are oriented so they can slide under gravity.
And this pic was deemed inappropriate for a group about human-caused alterations to landscapes--go figure!
