Consider the following statements about the type of landslides:

Topples usually occur on very gentle slopes or flat terrain.

Falls happen due to the forward rotation of a unit under the actions of gravity.

Topples happen due to the abrupt movements of masses of geologic materials.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Landslides is a sudden movement of rock, boulders, earth or debris down a slope is termed as a landslide. They are natural disasters occurring mainly in mountainous terrains where there are conducive conditions of soil, rock, geology and slope.
Falls happen due to the abrupt movements of masses of geologic materials, such as rocks and boulders that become detached from steep slopes or cliffs.
Topples happen due to the forward rotation of a unit or units about some pivotal point, below or low in the unit, under the actions of gravity and forces exerted by adjacent units or by fluids in cracks
In slides type landslide, rocks, debris or soil slide through slope forming material.
Spread landslide usually occur on very gentle slopes or flat terrain.
