This is known as a landslide with a circular slip geometry.
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.

A meniscus.
When a mass of rock or sediment moves downhill, leaving a curved scar, it is typically the result of a landslide or rockslide. The curved scar is known as a slip plane or scarp, which forms due to the movement of the material along a curved surface as it slides downhill under the force of gravity. This process can often be triggered by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or other external factors that reduce the friction holding the material in place.

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.
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.
