1.Climate: If a region experiences slot of rain the rate at which mass movement will take place is higher compared to a region experiencing a little rain.
2.Tectonic movements such as earthquake and volcanic eruptions cause earth movement hence affecting the rate of mass movement.
3.Human activities such as land cultivation affects mass movement as areas which are oftenly cultivated tend to experience higher rates of mass movement compared to uncultivated land.
4.The angle of slope: if a region has a steep slope mass movement tends to be in higher rates compared to flat land.
5.Vegetation cover: If land contains good vegetation cover mass movement will tend to be lower compared to land which doesn't contain vegetation.
