It's possible for a single landslide to involve multiple movement types. A rockfall landslide is the rotation of a mass of rock, rubble or dirt away from the face of a steep slope.

“You’re dealing with a huge landslide mass; it’s been moving historically for decades,” said geologist Mike Phipps, at the Nov. 14 Rancho Palos Verdes City Council meeting. “It’s just ...

so that, you know, can just assist that mass movement to slide. on january 18th, ... it’s going to stop that global movement, landslide effects that eases the minds of homeowners.

Phipps said the rate of the land movement overall has leveled off, but it's still moving 3.5-4.5 feet per month. He compared it to a car going from accelerating on a freeway to cruising.

Gaume, joint professor of alpine mass movements at ETH and SLF, studies avalanches, landslides, granular and debris flows. He and his team have developed new simulation software to estimate which ...
