1.) Rock Slide 2.) Rock Fall 3.) Debris Flow 4.) Earth Flow

Rock Slides are a sudden and rapid movement of material downslope.

Rock Falls are the breaking and tumbling of a mass of rock

Debris Flows are the rapid movement of larger rocks, coarse sand, and other materials

Earth Flows are a slower movement of fine soil/rock that is clumped together
