Mass Movements and Slope Stability
Mass movements are the downslope displacement of rock, debris, or soil under the direct influence of gravity, representing a major geomorphic process in mountainous, coastal, and volcanic terrains worldwide. Understanding slope stability requires integrating geological structure, material properties, hydrological conditions, and triggering mechanisms including earthquakes and precipitation. This topic examines the classification, mechanics, and prediction of mass movements, and their consequences for human settlements.
