Gravity is constantly acting on a hill, trying to pull it toward the earth at all times. Once the resistance of the land begins to buckle under the pressure of gravity, the land breaks free from itself and rushes toward the earth. Gravity gives the mud potential energy which is released and converted to kinetic energy once the,slide begins.
