What is the main cause of a landslide?
tectonic movements coupled with a slope greater than the angle of inclination can cause a landslide
A landslide is an example of?
Landslides are caused by the force of gravity pulling on the rocks.
What is true about landslides?
Landslides are a mass of moving rocks, debris and soil. Landslides can occur in any area, although some areas are more prone to landslides (for example: California). A landslide can occur when the force of gravity overcomes the force of friction that holds a sloped mass in place. A landslide could be triggered by the movement created by an earthquake, or simply from saturation by rainfall or other moisture sources.

What type of mass movements makes the most changes in Earth's surface?
The mass movement that makes the most changes in Earth's surface is not air, or water, but a landslide. The four mass movements are landslide, slump, creep, and mudslide.Old Answer: air, water.
