Mass movements refer to the large-scale movement of soil, rock, and debris down a slope due to gravity. These movements can occur slowly, as in the case of soil creep, or rapidly, such as in landslides and avalanches. Factors like rainfall, earthquakes, and human activities can trigger these events, leading to significant changes in the landscape. There are several types of mass movements, including slumps, slides, and flows. Each type varies in speed and material involved. Understanding mass movements is essential for managing land use and minimizing risks to infrastructure and human safety in vulnerable areas.
