Deslizamiento de Terra

The video tutorial explains landslides, which are movements of earth, stones, and rocks on slopes. It covers the causes, including erosion, heavy rain, melting snow, and the role of plant roots. The impact of rivers, glaciers, and sea waves is also discussed. Earthquakes and volcanoes can trigger landslides by altering slopes. Landslides vary in size and can be destructive, as seen in the 1980 Mount Saint Helens event, which caused significant damage and created new lakes.
