Answer:

blocks of rock sliding down a slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slumps are a type of block movement in which rocks detach from the massif and free fall down the slope, and may occur in different volumes and lithologies.

This process is associated with fractures in the rock mass. The movement is essentially vertical, where the rock fragments move along abrupt slopes, without contact with any surface, ie in free fall.
