A landslide involves the movement of large volumes of unstable earth down an incline (slope of a hill or mountainside). It can be caused by a number of phenomena like earthquakes, erosion, prolonged drought or rainfall, poor soil management or other factors.
An avalanche is movement of large volumes of snow. It is caused by vibrations from seismic activity or even very loud sounds. Even removal of a portion of the snow using a snow plow might trigger an avalanche.
