The material making up a scree slope is called "scree" or "talus." It consists of loose rock fragments that have fallen from a cliff or steep slope, typically due to weathering and erosion processes. These angular pieces of rock accumulate at the base of the slope, forming a steeply angled deposit. Scree slopes are often unstable and can shift or move due to gravity and other environmental factors.

A pile of rock fragments at the base of a cliff is called a?
This may be known as a scree slope or a talus pile. Talus and scree are normally used interchangeably, however scree normally refers to material of gravel size or smaller and talus to larger debris.

Weathered rock fragments at the bottom of a hill are called scree. Scree formation is commonly attributed to the formation of ice within mountain rock slopes.

What is a non vertical rock face called Like a gravel slide just made of granite?
A slope of unconsolidated slope of granite gravels would be called a scree slide. The toe of such a slope would be known as the 'talus' - a word meaning ankle. And thus referring to the gentle curve.
Why are large scree slopes found under cliffs and mountainous areas?
A scree slope is caused by weather erosion breaking off pieces of rock from the cliff and mountain-side.

Those letters will spell scree (loose stones that cover a slope).
What is it called when material moves down slope along a curved surface called?
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.

Talus
What do you call an accumulation of weathered stones at the foot of a hill?
An accumulation of weathered stones at the foot of a hill is called a scree slope or talus pile. These piles are typically the result of rockfall or erosion from the hill above.
