It would be categorized as a landslide.
When it gets loosened from the surface of the hill.
landslide
When the ground thaws, the force of gravity causes the soil and rock particles to fall back down. But they fall vertically, toward the center of Earth. The result is movement downhill.

If you put a rock on a hill, the gravity of the ground will slowly make it move downhill.
Yes. Gravity is essential to shaping Earth's surface. Masses of rock and soil periodically fall, roll, and slide down from hills, mountains, and cliffs. Rain and snow fall on the surface, causing erosion and forming streams and rivers that flow downhill. Glaciers flow downhill, carving into solid rock. All of these processes are driven by gravity.
