Why would a landslide be more likely on a steep mountain than on a gently sloping hill?

if it is very steep and you throw a little rock down it will be more likely to make all the rocks fall easier than a gently sloped hill that if you throw the same size rock down it would move nothing but little rocks.

Steep mountain, due to gravity.
