Mass movement refers to the large-scale movement of soil, rock, and debris down a slope due to gravity. This process can occur slowly, as in soil creep, or rapidly, as in landslides and rockfalls. Factors such as rainfall, earthquakes, and human activities can trigger these movements, leading to changes in the landscape. There are several types of mass movement, including landslides, mudflows, and slumps. Each type varies in speed and material involved. Understanding mass movement is important for managing land use and preventing hazards in areas prone to these geological events.
