A landslide is a natural disaster that occurs when a large amount of rock, soil, and debris suddenly moves down a slope. This movement can be triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities like construction. Landslides can happen quickly and can cause significant damage to the environment and nearby structures. There are different types of landslides, including rockfalls, debris flows, and slumps. Each type varies in speed and the materials involved. Landslides can pose serious risks to communities, making it important to monitor areas prone to this phenomenon and implement safety measures to protect lives and property.
