when a person slumps down on their sofa out of exhaustion and when they slump, they are at a 45 degree angle to the sofa then spin onto their front before hitting it. therefore their slumping is rotational as they rotate whilst slumping.

It is where permeable (absorbs water) rock in a cliff face is upon impermeable (doesn't absorb water) rock. When it rains water soaks through the layer of permeable rock, but doesn't through the impermeable rock. A layer of water collects until the top layer of rock slips. The layer collapses down the front of the cliff face in a rotational manner. This can be called `failing` or `slumping.` Sand/gravel is often the permeable rock and clay is impermeable.
