Answer: Slumps. A slump is a type of mass wasting that results in the sliding of coherent rock materials along a curved surface. ... A slump is sometimes referred to as a rotational slide because a portion or block of the slope 'slides' down as it 'rotates' around an axis parallel to the slope.

Sliding allows the materials to fall downward in an inclined plane, whereas slumping allows the materials to fall downwcard along a curved plane.

Explanation:

Sliding and slumping are two of the distinct mass wasting processes, where the loose and unconsolidated materials falls downward under the influence of gravity.

In case of sliding, the materials slides along an plane, whereas, in case of slumping, the loose materials falls down along a curved surface, which slowly results in the rotational movement of the sediments.
