It's generally referred to as erosion, the movement of material from one place to another place with the aid of wind, ice, water and gravity.
Erosion is the process of transport or movement of soil or rock by water, wind, or ice.
The downhill movement of rock or soil is called erosion. Erosion can be caused by natural processes like water flow, wind, glaciers, and gravity. It can also be accelerated by human activities such as deforestation and construction.
Yes, a rock slide is considered a type of mass movement in geology. Mass movements refer to the downhill movement of rock, soil, or debris under the influence of gravity, and rock slides involve the rapid movement of rocks down a slope.
Soil and rock particles fall due to gravity, which pulls them downwards towards the Earth's surface. Factors such as erosion, weathering, and human activities can also lead to the movement of soil and rock particles.
The process is called mass wasting or mass movement. It refers to the downslope movement of rock, soil, and debris under the influence of gravity. This can result in various forms such as landslides, rockfalls, and slumps.

percolation
The process is called mass wasting or mass movement. It refers to the downslope movement of rock, soil, and debris under the influence of gravity. This can result in various forms such as landslides, rockfalls, and slumps.
Creep mass movement is caused by the slow downhill movement of soil or rock due to gravity, soil expansion and contraction, or freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, this movement can result in the displacement of materials downslope.
A rapid downward movement of rock and soil is called a landslide. It can be triggered by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or human activities like construction and deforestation. Landslides can result in significant damage to infrastructure, property, and loss of life.
