Movement along a curved surface typically involves the concept of "curvilinear motion." This type of motion occurs when an object moves along a path that is not straight, following a curved trajectory, such as a roller coaster or a car turning on a curved road. In physics, this can also relate to concepts of angular motion and centripetal force, which govern how objects behave when they travel along curved paths.
When a block of material moves down a slope along a curved surface, the type of mass movement is typically referred to as a "slump." This process involves a rotational movement where the material moves downward and outward along a concave path. Slumping often occurs in saturated soils or loose materials, resulting in a distinct, curved failure surface.
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.

A downward movement of a block of material along a curved surface is called "sliding" or "slump." This process typically occurs when gravitational forces overcome the frictional forces holding the material in place, causing it to move along the slope of the curved surface. Depending on the context, it may also be referred to as "mass wasting" in geological terms.
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.

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.
