Mass movement refers to the downslope movement of rock, soil, and other materials under the influence of gravity. This natural process can occur slowly, such as creep, or rapidly, in events like landslides, avalanches, and rockfalls. Mass movement is influenced by factors such as slope steepness, material type, water content, and tectonic activity. Studying mass movement is important for predicting and mitigating the potential hazards associated with these events, such as property damage, loss of life, and disruption of infrastructure. Researchers in this area use field observations, remote sensing techniques, modeling, and monitoring to better understand the mechanisms and triggers of mass movements and develop strategies for risk assessment and management.
