When a slope breaks, there is mass wasting. When a slope is excessively steep and unstable given the materials and environmental factors at play, it fails. The slope angle and the underlying material's strength are the two main criteria that eventually influence slope stability.
Slope failures are categorized according to three factors:
The material that collapsed, its mechanism of failure (how the material moved while failing), and its pace of movements, such as bedrock or loose sediment (how quickly the material moved).
The most crucial feature of a slope collapse is the failure mechanism. The three primary mechanisms of slope failure are as follows:
When anything falls, it travels through the air vertically or almost vertically.
Slide: In slides, the substance slides along a sloping surface as a cohesive mass (with little to no internal motion inside the substance); and
Flow: Inflows, the failing substance moves within, much like a fluid.
