Landslide
A landslide is the movement of rock, earth, or debris down a sloped section of land. Landslides are caused by rain, earthquakes, volcanoes, or other factors that make the slope unstable. Geologists, scientists who study the physical formations of Earth, sometimes describe landslides as one type of mass wasting.A mass wasting is any downward movement in which Earth's surface is worn away.
