Damage from Mass WastingAlthough geologic hazards like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions get the most attention, more damage occurs in a single day from slow or sudden downward movement of the upper layers of soil and rock (called mass wasting) than from years of earthquake damage. Before you build a home on a hillside, check with your state geological survey for information on slope stability and history of slope failure in your area.
