A rock slide is a type of landslide caused by rock failure in which part of the bedding plane of failure passes through intact rock and material collapses and not in individual blocks.
While a landslide occurs when loose dirt or sediment falls down a slope, a rock slide occurs only when solid rocks are transported down slope.
The rocks tumble downhill, loosening other rocks on their way and smashing everything in their path.
