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.
If the surficial (and sometimes subsurface) geology is unstable, mass wasting often occurs. BUT, if clear-cutting (harvesting all trees in an area) and road building occur on geologically stable land, timber harvesting has considerably less impact. Urbanization also has an effect on slope stability.
