How does slumping happen?

Slumping occurs after heavy periods of rain, when the water saturates overlying rock, making it heavy and liable to slide. This happens as a result of heavy rain passing through permeable rock, such as sandstone, and then it continues to move towards impereable rock, such as clay, but the pores are tiny and so the water slides through saturating the rock, resulting in the undercutting of a steep slope, which creates a concaved sliding slope. In addition to this, layers of boulder clay, left behind by melting glaciers - caused by coastal erosion - can become saturated and also cause slumping.
