On the basis of a total of thirteen case examples from the Tien Shan, Karakorum, Himalaya and Tangula Shan (central Tibet), the risk potential and hazards are inferred from the development of landscape during the Quaternary. The history of glaciers can be seen as of central importance for this. The Ice Age glacial erosion created Vshaped valleys, which with their steep flanks as a consequence of the interglacial formation of V valleys have prepared and brought about landslides as well as rockslides and the hazards, combined with them. The same is true for the moraines, which the gla ciers have deposited highup in the valley flanks and related loose stone deposits. Dry and wet mass movements follow after heavy precipitation, especially in the semiarid investigation areas, and are catastrophes for the settlements and the communication routes in the valley floors. Their keyforms are debris cones and debris slopes, as well as mudflows and alluvial fans. In addition to the Ice Age glaciation history, as a preparatory, indirect factor, the Holocene to present glaciation history is, as a result of the danlmingup of glacier and moraine lakes and their outbursts, a direct risk factor. The examples presented of acute and already occurred cases of damage were inves tigated in the years 19891994.
