24 de may. de 2024 · landslide, the movement downslope of a mass of rock, debris, earth, or soil (soil being a mixture of earth and debris). Landslides occur when gravitational and other types of shear stresses within a slope exceed the shear strength (resistance to shearing) of the materials that form the slope.

8 de may. de 2024 · Mudslides, a specific type of landslide, arise when a flow of mud moves down slopes, particularly after heavy rains. The primary difference lies in the material involved — landslides can be a mixture of larger debris and dirt, while mudslides are saturated soil and fine sediment.
