Large rocks and debris on a slope.
Mass movement (mass wasting) is driven by gravity and is influenced by slope steepness and the weight and stability of material on the slope. Large rocks/debris increase weight and make downslope movement more likely. (Adding vegetation tends to stabilize slopes; wind over water or a puddle on flat ground do not promote mass wasting.)
