Mass movement is the bulk movement of rock and soil debris down a slope in response to gravity or the sinking of the Earth's surface in a vertical direction. This process may also be referred to as mass wasting. Water plays a role in sinking mass movements and mass movements on slopes. Both types of movements play a role in the changing of landforms. Mass wasting once referred to processes that involved large masses of crusted material moved from one place to another by gravity.
