Rockfalls

Rockfalls is a type of slope failure mechanism characterized by the sudden detachment and free fall of rock fragments from a steep rocky slope under the influence of gravity, distinguished from other mass wasting processes by its rapid, ballistic descent and limited interaction with the underlying substrate.
