The box connector should go to the back of the monitor, and the flat connector should go to a usb port on your computer of other usb hub (but not the flat connector on the monitor; that would just be connecting the monitor to itself). So the answer to your question depends on where you connected the flat connector.
Slope saturation by water is a primary cause of landslides. This effect can occur in the form of intense rainfall, snowmelt, changes in ground-water levels, and water-level changes along coastlines, earth dams, and the banks of lakes, reservoirs, canals, and rivers.
And despite most landslides needing a slope to move down, there is one type of landslide that can move sideways. That's a lateral spread or flow landslide and it can happen when an earthquake moves the soil material as though it were a liquid. One very dramatic type of landslide is a lahar.
