GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mudflow, Landslides, Flow of rocks, water are all examples of a mass movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -A landslide is a mass movement of material, such as rock, earth or debris, down a slope. They can happen suddenly or more slowly over long periods of time. When the force of gravity acting on a slope exceeds the resisting forces of a slope, the slope will fail and a landslide occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Landslides are a type of “mass wasting, ” which denotes any down-slope movement of soil and rock under the direct influence of gravity. The term “landslide” encompasses five modes of slope movement: falls, topples, slides, spreads, and flows.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mass wasting is the movement of rock and soil down slope under the influence of gravity. Rock falls, slumps, and debris flows are all examples of mass wasting.
