Mass wasting is the term used to describe the process of the transfer of rock material down slope under the influence of gravity. There are various terms used to describe how these materials move when a mass wasting event is happening, include flow and slide.

The type of erosion that occurs when gravity alone causes rock or sediment to move down a slope is called mass movement. The types of mass movement are creep, slump, rock slides, and mudflows.

erosionMass wasting-also called mass movement-is a collective term and covers many different phenomena. Overall, it refers to the usually slow (but sometimes rapid) downslope movement of rock, soil, regolith, and sundry debris under the influence of gravity.Read more: what-is-mass-wasting
Erosion is the process in which sediment moves from one location to another.Do not get this confused with deposition, which is the process in which sediment is dropped (deposited) in a new location.
