Short summary
To understand how earthquake-triggered landslides travel vast distances, we simulated a historic event lasting 87 seconds. We tracked how rocks broke apart and transferred energy. We discovered that rocks colliding at the back powerfully push the front forward. Once the falling rock mass expands enough, it flows like a liquid. This new knowledge helps predict future landslide paths and protect mountain communities from disasters.
