It asks students to fill in that during landslides, gravity and erosion cause materials like rock and soil to slide down a slope. Landslides alter landscapes by moving and depositing soil particles, changing the shape of hills and mountains. They can be caused by heavy rain, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other factors, and can damage homes and buildings while leaving bare areas on slopes.
