Landslides are a mass of moving rocks, debris and soil. Landslides can occur in any area, although some areas are more prone to landslides (for example: California).
A landslide can occur when the force of gravity overcomes the force of friction that holds a sloped mass in place. A landslide could be triggered by the movement created by an earthquake, or simply from saturation by rainfall or other moisture sources.
"Underwater landslides are marine landslides that transport sediment across the continental shelf and into the deep ocean. A submarine landslide is initiated when the downwards driving stress (gravity and other factors) exceeds the resisting stress of the seafloor slope material causing movements along one or more concave to planer rupture surfaces." --Wikipedia

they are very mean
Most landslides are caused by movements in the tectonic plates. This causes small ripples in the ground, which may eventually lead to a landslide.
It is when a large amount of top land loses it's 'grip' and moves downhill gathering momentum and other land.
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
Yes. Landslides are real events.
