在美国，滑坡多发生在山区、丘陵地区以及沿海。可以根据运动的方式及物质种

In the United States, landslides mostly occur in mountainous, hilly areas and coastal areas. Landslides can be classified according to the type of movement and the type of material. According to the mode of movement, landslides can be divided into collapse, toppling, sliding (which can be divided into rotational sliding and translational sliding according to the shape of the sliding surface and the resulting sliding mode), and lateral expansion , Flow five types; according to the type of material, it can be divided into rock and soil, of which, soil can be further divided into coarse-grained soil and fine-grained soil. Then the results of these two classification methods are combined and matched, among which the movement method is mainly divided to obtain the specific names of the landslide, such as rock fall, landslide, mud flow, and soil flow. The specific classification is shown in the following table.

Then, the results of the two classification methods are combined, in which the movement mode is mainly divided, so as to obtain the specific name of landslide, such as rock avalanche, soil avalanche, mud flow and soil flow. The specific classification is shown in the table below.

Then, the results of these two classification methods are combined and matched, in which the movement method is the main one, so as to obtain the specific names of landslides, such as rock collapse, soil collapse, mud flow and soil flow, and the specific classification is shown in the following table.
