Placemark takes you to an ENE view of a steep, seaward-sloping face behind the flat, coastal sea terrace on which people have built homes. The place mark is positioned on the most recent, active mudslide, which is the infamous La Conchita mudslide. Why do you think this mudslide occurred?
On January 10, 2005, a landslide struck the community of La Conchita in Ventura County, California, destroying or seriously damaging 36 houses and killing 10 people.
the area has little vegetation to hold the soil
the area could have been undercut by the road halfway up the slope
the sea terrace on which the houses sit has over-steepened the cliff

Answer:
oceanic crust sinks because it is denser and has higher specific gravity than the more silicon aluminum enriched continental crust. What drives substitution is convection and conduction in outer core of earth, that heat , only a small part of which is due radioactive isotopes, has to make it's way to Earth's surface by both conduction and convection. Iron and nickel o have the highest specific gravities of the 10 most common elements in the Milky Way Galaxy. This is why oceanic crust sinks and is subducted continental crust has to have a lot more force applied before it inks, because it doesn't want to sink.
