Mass wasting events refer to the movement of soil, rock, and debris down a slope due to gravity. These events can occur suddenly or gradually and are influenced by factors such as rainfall, earthquakes, and human activities. Common types of mass wasting include landslides, mudflows, and rockfalls. These events can have significant impacts on the environment and human structures. For example, heavy rainfall can saturate soil, increasing the likelihood of a landslide. Similarly, earthquakes can trigger rockfalls in mountainous areas. Understanding mass wasting is essential for managing risks in vulnerable regions.
