The term ’landslide’ includes all varieties of mass movements of hill slopes and can be defined as the downward and outward movement of slope forming materials composed of rocks, soils, artificial fills or combination of all these materials along surfaces of separation by falling, sliding and flowing, either slowly or quickly from one place to another.

A landslide is a phenomena which has a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls which can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environment.
