Rockslides
Rockslides typically occur in mountainous or hilly areas where rocks are unstable due to factors such as weathering, erosion, and gravity. They can happen during heavy rainfall or seismic activity, and can pose significant risks to people and property located below the slide area.
Gravity is the main factor that causes a rockslide. However, water can also contribute by lubricating rock layers and reducing friction, making a slope more prone to sliding. Wind alone typically does not cause rockslides, but it can indirectly impact the stability of a slope by eroding or destabilizing the rocks.
There are many reasons to protect yourself: from other animals who might want to kill and eat you, from the elements, from natural dangers like rockslides or earthquakes, or even from accidents.
Examples of earthflows include mudslides, debris flows, and rockslides. These mass wasting events involve the downslope movement of materials such as soil, rock, and debris due to gravity. Earthflows can be triggered by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions.
Randa rockslides happened in 1991.

Slumps involve downward movement of a coherent mass along a curved slip surface, usually in response to saturation of underlying materials. Rockslides, on the other hand, involve rapid movement of rock fragments down a steep slope. Slumps typically occur in fine-grained soils, while rockslides occur in consolidated rock masses.

One land feature created by gravity would be sinkholes.

There are typically many large rocks prominently obvious with little soil cover. There are 3-4 large landslide sites near me and they are very obvious.
