A landslide, also known as a landslip, is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movements, such as rockfalls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows, which can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments. Although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability. Typically, pre-conditional factors build up specific sub-surface conditions that make the area/slope prone to failure, whereas the actual landslide often requires a trigger before being released.

山泥倾泻,也称为防止山泥倾泻,是一种地质现象,包括范围广泛的地面运动,如崩塌、 深斜坡和浅埋的泥石流,在远洋、 沿海和陆上环境中可能发生的故障。虽然由于重力作用是滑坡发生的主要动力,有原始的边坡稳定性影响的其他因素。通常情况下,预条件因素建立具体的地表条件,使的地区坡容易出现故障,而实际滑坡被释放之前往往需要一个触发器。
