A rockslide is a type of landslide that involves the sudden and rapid movement of rock or rock debris down a slope or cliff face. Rockslides can be caused by a variety of factors, including erosion, weathering, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and human activities such as mining or construction.
The speed and force of a rockslide can be extremely dangerous and destructive, and can cause significant damage to infrastructure and buildings in its path. Rockslides can also result in loss of life and injury to people caught in their path.
To mitigate the risk of rockslides, engineers and geologists often conduct surveys and assessments to identify areas of high risk and implement measures such as rockfall barriers, rock bolting, and slope stabilization to prevent or minimize the impact of rockslides.
