Landslide also called as Landslip, is physical displacement of geomaterials, it is natural / man induced and causes removal or erosion of the part of land.

Explanation:

  • A landslide is a form of mass wasting including a wide range of ground movements including debris fall, slope failure, and mudflows.  
  • Some landslides occur under oceans called as submarine landslides. Gravity is a prime driving force, and some are associated with earthquakes and rainfall.

  • Landslides characterized by debris flows are full of mud, soil rocks that move with great speed and are often hazardous.
