Abstract

This chapter begins by giving a brief overview of the forces involved in the geodynamics of mountains and mountain ranges, including the processes needed for the generation of mass movement processes. In the remaining parts of this chapter, the following issues associated with mountain landslides are addressed: the anatomy of landslides, common landslide materials, and landslide movement types, along with landslide causes and triggers. The purpose of the final section of this chapter is to reflect on the extent to which the increasing intensity of human activities on mountainscapes, particularly climate change and urbanization, has magnified potential disaster risk for downslope settlements.
