The vertical cut and toe cutting of hillslope leads to slope transformation that opens up new way of water seepage & slope saturation. The increased infiltration that destabilizes the slope due to over water saturation and decrease in cohesive strength o

Removal of toe support, Toe erosion by stream undercut the slope making it steeper & increased the slope instability. Granite gneiss altered into laterite/saprolite.
