A common landslide is a geological event where a mass of rock, earth, or debris moves down a slope due to gravity. It often occurs after heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities that destabilize the ground. Landslides can vary in size and speed, and they pose significant risks to infrastructure, ecosystems, and human safety. Mitigation strategies include slope stabilization, drainage improvements, and land-use planning.
The most common type of landslide is a debris flow, which is a fast-moving landslide consisting of a mixture of soil, rock, and water. Debris flows occur when heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt saturates the ground, causing loose material to flow downhill. They can happen in areas with steep slopes and inadequate drainage.
In Tamil, landslide is called "பகுதிப்படுத்துதல்" (Pakuthi Paduthuthal).

Characteristics of a landslide are really easy to spot if it was a major landslide. Most common signs are tress will be pushed down, the dirt will have a look of water stopped in the middle of running down the hill. and at the end of a landslide there will be a pile of dirt and debris.
Malpa landslide happened in 1998.
