An abrupt movement of soil and bedrock downhill in response to gravity Landslides can be triggered by an earthquake or other natural causes Undersea landslides can cause tsunamis
The downhill movement of a mass of soil or rock, usually wet or saturated, that results in episodic erosion (Sometimes simply referred to as "slide," but also including falling or flowing masses as well )
Downslope movement of a relatively dry or coherent mass of earth and/or rock along an interior surface slope at a rate fast enough to be readily perceived Movement of a wet mass is called a mudslide
A general term for a mass movement landform and a process characterized by moderately rapid to rapid (greater than 30 cm per year) downslope transport, by means of gravitational stresses, of a mass of rock and regolith that may or may not be water saturated
a general term used to describe the down-slope movement of soil, rock and organic materials under the influence of gravity It also describes the landform that results
The movement of earth, rocks and debris which have been loosened by water, or weathering, down a mountain or hill; the movement may be instantaneous as down a steep mountain, or slow as in the case of large masses ,of mud moving down a gentle slope
