In geology, landslide events are referred to as mass wasting. There are many specific types of mass wasting including mudflows, debris flows, earth flows, rock falls, debris falls, rock slides, debris slides, lahars, avalanches, solifluction, slump, and creep.

The landslide seen in this picture is on south-southeastern face of Mt. Logan, at the eroded far-southern edge of the Roan Plateau. Mt. Logan is capped by Uinta Formation sedimentary rocks (Eocene in age). The slopes consist of the Green River Formation (also Eocene).

Locality: Mt. Logan (looking ~north from Interstate 71 at mileposts 65 and 66), >8 air miles west-southwest of the town of Parachute, southern Garfield County, western Colorado, USA (39° 23' 56.12" North latitude, 108° 11' 08.19" West longitude)
