Landslide classification — There have been known various classifications of landslides and other types of mass wasting.For example, the McGraw Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology distinguishes the following types of landslies: *fall (by undercutting) *fall (by… … Wikipedia

Landslide mitigation — Landslides can be triggered by many often concomitant causes. In addition to shallow erosion or reduction of shear strength caused by seasonal rainfall, causes triggered by anthropic activities such as adding excessive weight above the slope,… … Wikipedia
landslide — A general, encompassing term for most types of mass movement landforms and processes involving the downslope transport and outward deposition of soil and rock materials, caused by gravitational forces and which may or may not involve saturated … Glossary of landform and geologic terms

slide — a) A category of mass movement processes, associated sediments (slide deposit), or resultant landform (e.g., rotational slide, translational slide, and snowslide) characterized by a failure of earth, snow, or rock under shear stress along one … Glossary of landform and geologic terms
fall — a) A category of mass movement processes, associated sediments (fall deposit), or resultant landforms (e.g., rockfall, debris fall, soil fall) characterized by very rapid movement of a mass of rock or earth that travels mostly through the air … Glossary of landform and geologic terms
flow — A category of mass movement processes, associated sediments (flow deposit) and landforms characterized by slow to very rapid downslope movement of unconsolidated material which, whether saturated or comparatively dry, behaves much as a viscous … Glossary of landform and geologic terms
lateral spread — A category of mass movement processes, associated sediments (lateral spread deposit), or resultant landform characterized by a very rapid spread dominated by lateral movement in a soil or fractured rock mass resulting from liquefaction or… … Glossary of landform and geologic terms
