Landslides, also known as landslips, or rockslides, [3] [4] [5] are several forms of mass wasting that may include a wide range of ground movements, such as rockfalls, mudflows, shallow or deep-seated slope failures and debris flows. [6] Landslides occur in a variety of environments, characterized by either steep or gentle slope gradients, from ...

Landslides occur around the world and have helped shape the Earth as we know it. The landslide that destroyed a rural neighborhood and claimed 43 lives in Oso, northeast of Seattle, 10 years ago ...
Ongoing landslide along a steep slope of the Barry Arm fjord. In mid-2020, the landslide began moving at a rate of 1.6–2.7 in (41–69 mm) per day, twice as fast as in 2008. A possible failure of the entire slide could trigger megatsunami waves up to 300 m (980 ft) high. [259] [260] 1950-now Siguas Valley and Vitor valley, Peru
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is defined by United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) as those actions which aim to "prevent new and reducing existing disaster risk and managing residual risk, all of which contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to the achievement of sustainable development".
For the first time in months, recent measurements from across the landslide area — from July 1 to Aug. 1 — showed the overall rate of land movement had decelerated, by about 1%.
In his latest report, he noted that the landslide continues to affect new areas, moving in some spots as much as 13 inches a week. For decades, most areas saw movement closer to a few inches a ...
