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 ...

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.

Submarine landslides represent a critical geohazard in marine environments, with significant implications for the integrity of subsea pipelines. These mass movement events, triggered by ...

Researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory used airborne radar to measure activity of the slow-moving Palos Verdes Peninsula landslide, which showed movement by as much as 4 inches per week.

It came as a shock when a landslide destroyed homes in Rolling Hills Estates last July. But research from UCLA and NASA shows that land movement preceded the catastrophe.
