They rearrange earth materials, redirect flows of energy, alter the shape of the earth's surface, result in new fractures, folds and fault lines, and puff mineral traces into the atmosphere.

Based on this research, borings can then be selectively located during a field check, with the location, spacing and depth of borings decided by the topography, geologic conditions, visible soil conditions and design considerations of the project.

Road cutting slope design in tropical terrains often tends to be conservative when based on the methods of classical slope stability analysis.
