Answer 2

Rock slides down the slope along a definite zone or surface, the movement is called a "landslide".

Explanation:

• Where a mass of earth or rock slides down the slope along a definite zone or surface, the movement is called a "landslide".

• This movement takes place under gravity and is facilitated by moisture which acts as a lubricating agent.

• The landslide starts with a slow movement along the slip surface, followed by a more rapid movement of the separated portion of the earth mass.

• The slip surface is  bounded by a crack that creates a difference between a slide from creep in which a continuous crack is often absent .

• The chief types of landslides are- slump,rock slides and rock falls.
