When the stability of a mountain slope is destabilized by factors such as erosion, earthquake, volcanic eruptions and heavy rainfalls, the natural disaster called landslide occurs. A landslide is a natural disaster that uproots the boulders, huge trees and houses. Landslides that occur due to heavy and continuous rainfall are known as mudslides.
