A landslide is a geological phenomenon that involves the downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials, including rock, soil, and vegetation. Landslides can occur in a variety of settings, including mountainous, coastal, and riverine environments. They can be triggered by a variety of factors, including earthquakes, heavy rainfall, and human activity.
Landslides can be a major hazard to human life and property. They can cause widespread destruction of infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and buildings. They can also lead to the loss of life and the displacement of communities.
