What is it called when a large rock falls from a cliff?

Why is rockfall the fastest type of landslide?
Rockfall is the fastest type of landslide because it involves the rapid downward movement of individual rock fragments or blocks. These rocks can travel at high speeds due to gravity, with minimal resistance from the surrounding terrain, leading to quick and unpredictable movement. The lack of soil or vegetation in rockfall areas also contributes to its speed.
