Natural disasters often come with destruction and loss of life, not to mention a lot of jargon. Which type of natural disaster is sometimes known as "solifluction"?

Solifluction - also known as "mass wasting" - occurs when a land mass slowly moves down a slope, usually because of alternating sets of freezes and thaws. It's akin to ice creep, in which a large glacier moves down a mountain or hillside.
