Is it true that rotational slumps occur when the zone of weakness in a slope has a convex shape

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Yes, it is true that rotational slumps can occur when the zone of weakness in a slope has a convex shape. Rotational slumps are a type of mass wasting event in which the slope of the ground rotates and moves downhill in a curved or circular motion. This can happen when there is a layer of weak or easily erodible material beneath the surface of a slope, which can cause the overlying material to slide and rotate downwards. The convex shape of the zone of weakness can contribute to the rotational movement of the slope as gravity and other forces act upon it.
