----------- is a type of mass movement or mass wasting

Landslides are a type of mass movement or mass wasting. They occur when large amounts of soil, rock, and other debris move downhill under the force of gravity. Landslides can be triggered by a variety of factors, including heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and human activity such as excavation or construction. Landslides can vary in size and speed, from slow and gradual movements to fast and destructive events. They can also cause significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and other structures in their path. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the signs of potential landslides and take necessary precautions to avoid them.
