Rock slides are primarily caused by the failure of rock masses due to factors such as gravity, weathering, and geological conditions. They can be triggered by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities like mining and construction, which destabilize the rock. Additionally, the presence of weak rock layers, fractures, or soil saturation can increase the likelihood of a rock slide occurring. Overall, the interplay of these factors contributes to the instability of steep slopes and cliff faces.
