Rockslide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rockslide is a type of landslide caused by rock failure in which part of the plane of failure passes through intact rock and where material collapses en masse and not in individual blocks.[1]
The mode of failure is different from that of a rock-fall.
