Landslide

A landslide is a natural event where a large mass of rock, earth, or debris suddenly moves down a slope due to gravity. This can occur after heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities like construction. Landslides can vary in size and speed, and they often happen in hilly or mountainous areas. They pose significant risks to people, property, and the environment, potentially causing damage to homes, roads, and ecosystems. Understanding landslides can help in disaster prevention and management.
