Abstract: Regarding the collapse of a special type of soil erosion in mountain areas. Studying its types, processes and stages can provide a scientific basis for prediction. Collapses can be classified into three types, natural, man-made and compound, and each type can be subdivided into four kinds, break-falling, pull-splitting, toppling and slipping. The processes of collapse are creep-deformation, deformation-development and break-out. The second one is subdivided into two periods, the gentle and intense.
