• Mass movement is the downward movement of materials from a cliff due to the gravitational pull.
• The cliff material mostly includes rocks and soil.
• This phenomenon is also known as mass wasting since it is the sinking of the earth's masses.
• Mostly it occurs due to water. Air and ice are also factors that initiate mass movement.
• Mudslides, landslides, avalanches, etc. exhibit landslides.
• The mass movement commonly occurs in slopes prone to weathering.
• Steep slopes, removal of vegetation, earthquakes, and undercutting of a slope can lead to mass movement since all these factors disturb the surface of the earth.
