LANDSLIDES

A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows. Although the action of gravity on a slope is the primary cause of landslides, there are often other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability.
