- Landslide - Wikipedia
Landslides occur when the slope (or a portion of it) undergoes some processes that change its condition from stable to unstable This is essentially due to a decrease in the shear strength of the slope material, an increase in the shear stress borne by the material, or a combination of the two
- Landslide | Definition, Types, Causes, Facts | Britannica
Landslide, the movement downslope of a mass of rock, debris, earth, or soil Landslides occur when gravitational and other types of shear stresses within a slope exceed the shear strength (resistance to shearing) of the materials that form the slope
- What is a landslide and what causes one? | U. S. Geological Survey
A landslide is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope Landslides are a type of "mass wasting," which denotes any down-slope movement of soil and rock under the direct influence of gravity
- Causes, Effects and Types of Landslides - Earth Eclipse
A landslide, sometimes known as landslip, slope failure or slump, is an uncontrollable downhill flow of rock, earth, debris or the combination of the three Landslides stem from the failure of materials making up the hill slopes and are beefed up by the force of gravity
- Landslides and Mudslides and Your Safety | Landslides | CDC
Landslides are caused by disturbances in the natural stability of a slope They can accompany heavy rains or follow droughts, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions Mudslides develop when water rapidly accumulates in the ground and results in a surge of water-saturated rock, earth, and debris
- Landslide - National Geographic Society
A landslide is the movement of rock, earth, or debris down a sloped section of land Landslides are caused by rain, earthquakes, volcanoes, or other factors that make the slope unstable

- Landslide Hazard Information - Causes, Pictures, Definition
The term "landslide" describes a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials including rock, soil, artificial fill, or a combination of these
