Domain-specific¶
- Mass Wasting
- the gravity-loaded slope — rock, regolith, or soil on an incline, with gravity as the sole transport agent (no flowing medium) the candidate failure surface — a specific shear surface defined by material discontinuities, weak layers, bedding planes, or saturated horizons the driving force — the downslope component of gravitational stress on that surface the resisting force — shear strength from cohesion, internal friction, and the effective normal stress that pore-water pressure modulates the factor of safety — the scalar ratio of resisting to driving force on the specified surface: stable above unity, failing below it the precondition vs. trigger — slow preconditioning (weathering, creep, rising pore pressure, vegetation loss) walking the ratio toward unity, then an abrupt trigger (rainfall, earthquake, toe undercutting) crossing it the movement mechanism — the Varnes grid (fall, topple, slide, spread, flow crossed with material) classifying how the mass moves
This sourceThe Cruden-Varnes landslide classification crossing five movement types (falls, topples, slides, spreads, flows) with material type to classify how a failed mass moves.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
