Landslides are a mass of moving rocks, debris and soil. Landslides can occur in any area, although some areas are more prone to landslides (for example: California).

A landslide can occur when the force of gravity overcomes the force of friction that holds a sloped mass in place. A landslide could be triggered by the movement created by an earthquake, or simply from saturation by rainfall or other moisture sources.
