Here's why:
* Crescent-shaped cliff: This is a key characteristic of slumps. The curved surface of the slump causes the cliff to have a distinctive crescent shape.
* Slow collapse: Slumps are characterized by slow, rotational movement. The material doesn't simply fall straight down, but rotates along a curved failure plane.
* Block of rocks, soil, and vegetation: Slumps can involve a variety of materials, including rocks, soil, and vegetation.
Other mass movements:
* Rockfall: Involves individual rocks falling freely down a cliff.
* Landslide: Rapid movement of a large mass of rock, soil, or debris down a slope.
* Debris flow: Rapid movement of a mixture of water, soil, rocks, and vegetation.
* Creep: Very slow, gradual movement of soil and rock downhill.
