tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
Gravity causes Mass Movement.
Gravity causes all types of mass movement. Mudflows, landslides, creeps, and slumps can all be causes by gravity.
Gravity is the main cause of all the mass movements because it brings everything down which causes it to destroy things in its path
This causes a mass movement. Mass movements are also called landslides by some. Mass movements are categorized by the speed at which they move, and the way the slope fails. See the link for more.

convenction!!
gravity is the main cause of mass movements.
if the steepness of a slope exceeds the stable angle, mass movements become more likely.
Mass movements of water are called currents. This is equally true for surface water or deeper water.
volcanos and earthquakes
Mass movements are most common in regions with steep slopes, loose soil or rock material, heavy precipitation, and seismic activity. Areas prone to mass movements include mountainous regions, coastal cliffs, and areas with a history of landslides or rockfalls. Human activities such as deforestation and construction can also increase the risk of mass movements.
People living on a day to day basis are a group unlikely to be recruited into mass movements for major changes in society. The goals of such people are to merely survive and any distractions such as mass movements, are a low priority.
