风化和侵蚀: 边坡和岩石风化后，强度大大降低。因此，边坡位于一侧，导致侵蚀增加，然后再次暴露内部岩石，导致进一步的侵蚀和风化。
由于地震引起的地面加速度增大，会增加边坡的滑动力，减小阻力。地震所释放的水平激波可以很容易地破坏缺乏横向剪切力的边坡。
山坡不合理开采:山地土地利用不当会导致地形和自然植被的变化。由于挖掘、充填和自然植被的冲刷，导致坡面坡度陡变，导致水土保持功能的丧失，从而增加了边坡崩塌的发生。这是一种在山坡上进行的挖掘工程，目的是在山坡上开发自然植被，并导致土坡的坡度。根据植被的解释，由于植被的原因，在植被的作用下，通过植物根系的增强和土壤的加固来描绘出地球的机械效应。在这种情况下，生态水文不平衡正在对分布进行访问。
Weathering and erosion: After the weathering of slope and rocks, the strength is greatly reduced. Thus, the slope lies at one-side that brings about the increasing of erosion and then re-exposed of internal rocks leading to further erosion and weathering.
The collapsed ground acceleration caused by the earthquake will increase the sliding force of the slope and reduce the resistance. The horizontal shock wave released by the earthquake will easily destroy the slope which lacks of the lateral shear force.
Improper exploitation of hillside: The improper use of hillside land can cause the change of terrain and natural vegetation. The gradient of the slope is steepening because of digging, filling and the natural vegetation being wanton felled, which leads to the loss of soil and water conservation function then increases the occurrence of slope collapse. The wanton felled is a type of excavation which is being made at the hillside for the purpose of developing natural vegetation on the hill side, and it leads to being of the soil slope level. As per the explanation of the vegetation is being considered along the hill slides, due to the vegetation, the geo-mechanical effect is being depicted by showing the enhancement of the work and the reinforcement of the soil by the plant roots. The distribution is being accessed by the eco-hydrological imbalance that is being seen in this case.
