Human activities such as deforestation, mining, construction, and agriculture can weaken slopes by removing vegetation or altering drainage patterns, increasing the likelihood of mass movements like landslides and debris flows. Poorly planned development in landslide-prone areas can also increase the risk of mass movement events.
Human activities such as deforestation, mining, construction, and irrigation can destabilize slopes and contribute to mass movements such as landslides and mudflows. When vegetation is removed, slopes are exposed to erosion, increasing the risk of mass movement. Improper construction and land-use practices can also weaken the stability of slopes, leading to mass wasting events.
Mass movement refers to the movement of surface material due to gravity. Other factors that can trigger mass movement are deforestation, saturation of surface materials with water, earthquakes and flash floods.
Gravity is the force behind mass movements like landslides and rockfalls. Other factors that can trigger mass movements include heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic activity, human activities like construction or deforestation, and changes in slope stability due to erosion or weathering.
Geologists classify mass movements based on the type of material involved (rock, soil, or a mix), the speed and behavior of the movement (slump, slide, flow), and the triggering mechanism (rainfall, earthquake, human activity). This classification helps them better understand the characteristics and potential hazards of different mass movements.
Factors that increase the potential for mass movement include steep slopes, loose and unconsolidated materials, heavy rainfall or snowmelt, deforestation, and earthquakes. Human activities such as construction activities and improper land use can also contribute to an increased risk of mass movements.

Mass movement affects humans because it can destroy their homes and neighborhoods. =)
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.

Mass movement, such as landslides or rockfalls, can have significant impacts on coastal zones. These events can contribute large volumes of material to the nearshore environment, affecting sediment dynamics, beach erosion, and habitat destruction. Mass movement can also increase the risk of coastal erosion and pose hazards to human populations and infrastructure located near the coast.

Rapid mass movement refers to the sudden, fast-paced movement of a large volume of material down a slope or incline. This can include events such as landslides, rockfalls, and debris flows, and is typically triggered by gravity, weather events, or human activity. Rapid mass movements can be hazardous and cause significant damage to the environment and infrastructure.
