Humans damage landscape by trampling vegetation between trail switchbacks. This increases erosion, creating big gullies.

Forest fires can have the same effect.

Natural "mountain damage" might be caused by avalanches, mud slides, earthquakes, glacial grinding, asteroid impacts, floods, or any of a wide variety of natural forces. Some rock weathering occurs just by the mechanical expansion and contraction of the day/night cycle.
