There are several types of landslides that exist, including:
-
Rockslides: This type of landslide involves the sliding of rock material down a slope.
-
Debris flows: Debris flows consist of a mixture of water, rock, soil, and other debris moving rapidly down a slope.
-
Mudslides: Mudslides are landslides that involve the movement of a mass of mud and water down a slope.
-
Slumps: Slumps are rotational landslides where the rock and soil move along a curved surface.
-
Creep: Creep is a slow, gradual movement of soil and rock down a slope over a long period of time.
These are just a few examples of the types of landslides that can occur in different geological settings.
