Hint Slip erosion is a natural disaster that causes the land of a higher area to slip and fall on a lower surface. It is a mass movement or slope movement by which soil, rock, etc move downslope mainly under the force of gravity.

Complete answer:
The phenomenon of the landslide is also known as slip erosion.
Landslide or landslip is mass wasting including a wide range of ground movements such as mudflows, debris flows, rockfalls, etc. They occur in various environments from mountain areas to coastal cliffs. They are even seen underwater and in that case, they are known as submarine landslides. Saturation by rainwater infiltration, snow melting, the rise of groundwater level, by the river or ocean waves, volcanic eruption, etc are naturally occurring causes of landslides. Human causes include deforestation, mining, construction, urbanization, etc.

Additional Information:
Earthquake refers to the shaking of the surface of the Earth by the seismic waves produced by a change in Earth's lithosphere. They are considered natural disasters due to their destructive capacity.
Volcanoes are ruptures in the Earth's crust that allows the escape of hot lava, and gases from the magma chamber below the surface of the earth. Most of them are found underwater or where tectonic plates are diverging. There are several types of volcanic eruptions, mainly divided into three main types- magmatic, phreatomagmatic, and phreatic eruptions.
Flood refers to the overflowing of water, submerging the land that is normally dry. After a wildfire, the flood is the second most common natural disaster in the whole world. There are several causes of floods, improper drainage of water in urban areas, the elevation of river beds, etc.

So, the correct answer is "Landslide".

Note: In today's time, man-made causes are aggravating landslides even more. The deforestation for cultivation and urbanization processes are reducing the grip between soil particles and thus the soil
