slump

Japanese: slump
slump

...Some contain a large amount of water, while others contain little water and flow like an avalanche, entraining air like a powder flow at extremely high speeds.
[Slide]
Slope material slides upward from the sliding surface, and can be broadly classified into slump, debris slide, and rock slide from slowest to fastest, and are sometimes collectively called landslides. Relatively small-scale events that occur at the edge of cliffs are called cliff failures or landslides, relatively slow sliding that occurs on the slopes of mountains and hills is called a landslide, and rapid sliding that appears to collapse is often called a landslide.
