Comment: "Vidhisje does not have to be Submarine, as you suggested, but will leave it as landslide. Other synonyms can be avalanche, mudslide, earthfall"
Discussion
I found submarine landslide to be " marine landslides that transport sediment across the continental shelf and into the deep ocean. A submarine landslide is initiated when the downwards driving stress (gravity and other factors) exceeds the resisting stress of the seafloor slope material causing movements along one or more concave to planar rupture surfaces"
