1. Volcanic activity
2. Earthquakes
3. Zones of increasing stress in rock environment (in relation to mining activity or mass movements on faults)
4. Tectonic disturbing of rock environment (faults, folds, strike and dip of discontinuities).
5. Weathering
6. Erosion
7. Changes in hydrological conditions in the area
8. Avalanches
9. Storms, hurricanes and transport of physical particles
10. Floods
11. Changes in hydrogeological conditions (balancing of groundwater table, direction of groundwater flow)
12. Suffosion
13. Collapse of loesses
14. Volume changes in clays (swelling, shrinkage)
15. Boiling of sand
16. Karst phenomena
17. Landslides
18. Gas emanations

20. Wildfires
Potentially induced hazards relating to anthropogenic activity in rock environment
1. Waste dumps of toxic materials and potential contamination
2. Mineral source exploitation and its impact on morphology (e.g. settlement), contamination
3. Tree felling and deforestation , soil erosion
4. Accidents – dam failure, infiltration of toxic liquids
