Essentially, a landslide results from the failure of soil and rock on hillsides to remain securely in place, as for one reason or another, they lose cohesion. Another major force is gravity. Gravity causes stress for slope materials such as rocks and soil, because it is constantly acting to try to pull the materials downslope.
Any of the following factors can contribute to landslides:

Any of the following factors can contribute to landslides:
glaciers of ice that carve land mass and picks up portions of the land
The coastline
A landslide is called a mud flow when it is raining when it happens which causes the dirt to turn to mud, or when a landslide happens at a muddy area so instead of dirt, its mostly mud.
Yes it is. Erosion causes landslides
tsunami
It can trigger a tsunami.

Rain causes rock and sediment to be loosened, and gravity does the rest
gravity represents a landslide because as you know gravity pulls every thing towards it so when big rocks in big rocky mountains starts falling so gravity pulls them towards it this causes landslide
a seismic wave, earthquake, landslide
Imprperly removing earth from a hill or mountain can increase the risk of a landslide--especially during or after large precipitation events or an earth quake. Another activity that can cause a landslide is blasting with dynamite. The shockwaves from the explosions have causes landslides.
when and where did the 1970 Peru landslide??? when and where did the 1970 Peru landslide???
