Mass movement or mass wasting is a phenomena in which rocks, soils and debris fall downslope typically as withered or compact mass due to the effect of gravity. The gravitational force exceeds the resistance force in slope which results in the flow of debris down the slope.  

Soil mixed with water sliding off a cliff: It depends upon the amount of water. Small amount of water with cause compaction of soil because it's surface tension will increase the soil cohesion. Large amount and high stream water can cause withering of soil and soil will slide of the cliff.

Rocks and debris rolling down a steep slope: Rocks and debris are dislocated from their original site because of their weight and active gravitational force acting on them.

Rocks breaking into sediments as they fall to the ground: Rocks breaks down into sediments because of the force with which they come down the rocks the physical structure of the rock gets disturbed and broken down into sediments.

Loosely connected rock and debris travelling down a steep hill: Rocks which are loosely connected gets separated when the come down the hill.

Explanation:

humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. we take up more space on earth for our homes and cities. we pollute habitats. human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.
