Slump
When a block of material moves downslope along a curved surface, the type of mass movement is called "slumping." This occurs when a mass of earth or rock moves down a slope in a rotational manner, typically along a curved surface. Slumping is characterized by the movement of material that remains somewhat cohesive and often leaves behind a curved scarp at the top and a bulging toe at the bottom of the slope.
To file a curved surface, use a file that matches the contour of the surface—such as a half-round or round file. Start by securing the workpiece to prevent movement, then apply even pressure while moving the file along the curve, following the natural shape. It's important to work gradually, checking your progress frequently to ensure an even finish without removing too much material. Always file in one direction to achieve a smoother surface.
A cylinder has 3 faces: two circular bases and one curved surface. It has 2 vertices located at the top and bottom circular edges, and it has an infinite number of edges along the curved surface where the circular bases meet. However, if considering just the circular edges, it has 2 edges.
A sphere and a cylinder are both three-dimensional geometric shapes that can be defined by their dimensions, specifically their radii and heights. Each shape has a curved surface; the sphere is uniformly curved in all directions, while the cylinder has a curved surface along its side and flat circular bases at the top and bottom. Additionally, both shapes can be described using similar mathematical concepts, such as volume and surface area, which depend on their respective dimensions. Lastly, they both can be used in various applications in physics and engineering, such as in fluid dynamics and structural design.

When a block of material moves down slope along a curved surface, it is called a rockslide. This type of mass movement involves the rapid sliding or falling of a coherent rock mass along a well-defined surface.

When a block of material moves down slopes along a curved surface, the type of mass movement is called a rockslide. This is a rapid, downslope movement of a coherent rock mass along a planar or slightly curved surface.
Slump
A rotational landslide involves a block of material sliding along a concave surface, often forming a curved failure plane, while a translational landslide involves movement along a planar surface without rotation. Rotational landslides typically have a more complex movement pattern compared to translational landslides.

The movement of material down slope along a curved surface is called creep. It is a slow, continuous process of particle-by-particle movement typically caused by gravity and can occur on various slope angles.
