Landslides involve
Answer: B
Landslides are the rapid, perceptible downslope movement of a relatively dry mass of earth, debris or bedrock. They happen suddenly, as the mass slides or falls along a slope when its support is lost.
Downslope movement that is usually not perceptible describes creep, and the slow to very rapid movement of water-saturated debris describes mudflows and debris flows. A slow-flowing mass saturated with water is solifluction. So the dry, rapid and visible movement is the landslide.
