The three main causes of mass wasting are gravity (acting on the material), the slope angle (steeper slopes are more prone to failure), and the presence of a trigger event such as heavy rainfall or seismic activity.

Density = Mass / Volume. So, to write it shorthand, you would write D = m / v.

Gravity causes all the types of mass movement. :P

A landslide consists of a mass of soil or rock moving as a single solid mass, with a definite plain of failure and relatively little deformation within the moving mass itself. A mudflow behaves as a fluid. There is no definite plane of failure and there is significant deforemation within the moving mass.
The Hicks field.
Rock mass failure occurs when the stress within a body of rock exceeds its strength, leading to deformation or fracture of the rock. This can result in landslides, rockfalls, or collapsing of underground tunnels. Understanding rock mass failure is crucial for engineering projects in rock formations to prevent accidents and ensure structural stability.
Mass is the property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational field.
