a slump
This is known as a landslide with a circular slip geometry.
Cause a map is flat, and the Earth is curved. Can't force a curved image onto a flat surface w/o losing something.
it reveals the true shape of a surface
=The curved surface of the earth cannot be shown accurately on a map because such a surface must be stretched or broken in some places as it is flattened. For this reason mapmakers use map projections.=
It's just called curved glass.
When a block of material moves downslope along a curved surface, the type of mass movement is _____.
When a block of material moves downslope along a curved surface, the type of mass movement is _____.
Slump is a form of mass wasting that involves the downward movement of a block of material along a curved surface. It is a type of erosion process as material is being transported downslope due to gravity.
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.

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.
No, slump is not an example of mass movement. Slump is a type of soil movement that involves the downward sliding of a mass of rock or soil along a curved surface. Mass movements usually involve the downslope movement of material under the influence of gravity, such as landslides and rockfalls.
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.
Slump mass movement occurs when a cohesive mass of rock and soil moves downward along a curved surface, resulting in a rotational movement. This can be triggered by factors such as saturation of the material with water, oversteepening of slopes, or removal of support at the base of the slope. The movement can vary in speed and can cause significant erosion and damage to the landscape.
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.
