Do we think these four tags (rock_slide, falling_rocks, landslide, erosion) represent four distinct and separate things that are properly tagged separately? I can see erosion being "the ground may fall from under you at the cliff's edge" but the others sounded like "the ground may fall from above".
The signs that I have found for landslide look exactly the same, pictorally, as falling rocks, although I have found some with the actual words "landslide". It would be helpful someone can offer this flat-lander examples where there are clear signage differences between these, or offer clear definition differences between these values - especially if we go in the direction of tagging unsigned hazards also.
