- pixl97 3y agoI mean the 'biggest' landslides are so big I'm not sure we'd fully be aware if one was going to happen soon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Mountain_(Wyoming) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Mountain_(Wyoming) >Between 50 and 48 million years ago a sheet of rock about 500 square miles (1,300 square kilometers) in area detached from the plateau south of the Beartooths and slid tens of kilometers to the southeast and south into the Bighorn and Absaroka Basins Luckily events like this are geologically rare. A bigger risk would be tsunamis from underwater mountain landslides.
