This is a section of the mountain that is about to slide.
Blocking it with wooden boards on one side does not stop the soil from sliding down.
You can make the wooden boards wider and heavier, which is a gravity retaining wall.
However, such a retaining wall requires a lot of materials. You, a smart person, will definitely think of extending a board from the bottom of the retaining wall. This is like a person stepping on a hoe. If you want to push the hoe away, you have to lift yourself up. This is a cantilever retaining wall.
When the mountain that needs to be supported is very high, the strong soil pressure will bend the wall. You can build a slope structure on one side of the retaining wall to improve the bending resistance of the wall, just like a piece of paper, you can easily bend it, but if you add a slope structure on the paper, the paper will not bend easily. However, the slope structure will occupy a lot of space on the outside, so you can build the slope structure inside the mountain.
This is a buttress retaining wall.
