Answer: Gravity

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass movement or mass wasting can be define as the movement of the particles, sediments, soil, regolith, rocks stones, boulder and other unstable materials down the slope under the influence of gravity. This is responsible for causing major disasters such as mudslides and landslides. The type of mass movement includes slides, flows, creep, falls and topples.
