The political meaning of landslide is commonly used，but it&39;s original definition. A geographical landslide occurs when a huge amount of earth slides down a slope or mountain，usually displacing rocks and vegetation and often houses and buildings as well. Landslides are caused by erosion，heavy rain，and earthquakes，among other events，and they're disruptive enough to give rise to the figurative meaning.
