Introduction
A landslide or landslip is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rockfalls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows, which can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments.

Definition
A landslide is an catastrophic event where a block of earthen mass slides downhill.
The causes of landslides are usually related to instabilities in slopes. It is usually possible to identify one or more landslide causes and one landslide trigger. The difference between these two concepts is subtle but important. The landslide causes are the reasons that a landslide occurred in that location and at that time.

Types of landslides
Debris flow:Slope material that becomes saturated with water may develop into a debris flow or mud flow. The resulting slurry of rock and mud may pick up trees, houses and cars, thus blocking bridges and tributaries causing flooding along its path. Debris flow is often mistaken for flash flood, but they are entirely different processes.
Amboori debris flow, occurred on 9 November 2001 in Kerala, India. The event killed 39 people.

Earth flow
Earthflows are downslope, viscous flows of saturated, fine-grained materials, which move at any speed from slow to fast. Typically, they can move at speeds from 0.17 to 20 km/h. Though these are a lot like mudflows, overall they are slower moving and are covered with solid material carried along by flow from within. The velocity of the earthflow is all dependent on how much water content is in the flow itself: if there is more water content in the flow, the higher the velocity will be.

Debris avalanche
A debris avalanche is a type of slide characterized by the chaotic movement of rocks soil and debris mixed with water or ice (or both). They are usually triggered by the saturation of thickly vegetated slopes which results in an incoherent mixture of broken timber, smaller vegetation and other debris. Debris avalanches differ from debris slides because their movement is much more rapid. This is usually a result of lower cohesion or higher water content and commonly steeper slopes.

Shallow landslide
Landslide in which the sliding surface is located within the soil mantle or weathered bedrock (typically to a depth from few decimetres to some metres). They usually include debris slides, debris flow, and failures of road cut-slopes. Landslides occurring as single large blocks of rock moving slowly down slope are sometimes called block glides.

Deep-seated landslide
Landslides in which the sliding surface is mostly
deeply located below the maximum rooting depth of trees (typically to depths greater than ten meters). These typically move slowly, only several meters per year, but occasionally move faster.

Landslides Prediction
Although a basic understanding of the landslides is
available, system that predict the occurrence of a landslide do NOT exist. Why?
The lack of field measurements over large temporal and
spatial scales.

The development of a landslide is a temporal process
takes as long as a year to develop Movement speed, several cm per month
