I think you mean mass wasting. Mass wasting, also known as mass movement or slope movement, is the geomorphic process by which soil, regolith, and rock move downslope under the force of gravity. Types of mass wasting include creep, slides, flows, topples, and falls, each with their own characteristic features, and take place over timescales from seconds to years

i think your looking for rotational slip, but thats off the top of my head otherwise its slumping of the land where it slowly falls into one big pile at the bottom... same as if you sit a huge fat person down ther weight all transgresses into rolls near the bottom of their body...
