a slump is a type of mass movement
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.
A slump is a mass movement characterized by the downward movement of a coherent mass of rock or soil along a curved surface. It usually occurs on steep slopes or cliffs and is driven by the force of gravity. The movement can be triggered by heavy rainfall, erosion, or changes in slope stability.
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.
The mass movement in which materials move as one large mass is called a landslide. It occurs when the force of gravity overcomes the strength of the materials holding the slope together, causing the mass of material to move downhill.
A slump is a type of mass wasting where a block of material moves down a curved surface, while a debris slide is a rapid downhill movement of loose material, such as rock, soil, and vegetation. Slumps involve rotational movement, whereas debris slides involve translational movement.
A slump mass movement is typically faster than a creep mass movement. Slump movement involves a more sudden and rapid downslope movement of material, often in a rotational manner, whereas creep movement involves a slower, more gradual flow of material over time.

If you mean a soil slump then no, adding mass to the head (top) of the slump will likely increase the likelihood of failure. If you are to add mass it should be added at the toe. However if you want to stop a slump moving the best thing you can do is to drain the area.
