Rotational slumping is a form of mass movement and occurs on coasts mainly. It involves a large area of land moving down a slope (obviously). Due to the nature of the slip, it leaves behind a curved surface. It’s very common on clay cliffs, during dry weather the clay contacts and cracks. When it rains, the water falls into the cracks and is absorbed until the rock is saturated. It weakens the rock and die to gravity, it slips down the slope on its slip plane.

Answer:
The landmass of India is pushing into that of Asia.
Explanation:
The Indian subcontinent is located in the southern part of Asia. Even it is considered as part of Asia, it is actually lying on its own tectonic continental plate, the Indian plate. The Indian plate has moved away from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana and by moving toward the north it has collided and pushed against the Eurasian plate.
These two plates make up a convergent plate boundary. Because they push against each other, there is constant pressure on the crust at and near the plate boundary, so the crust cracks deeps inside and adjusts itself. By doing so, earthquakes occur near the plate boundary, so they are from the northwestern part of the Indian, through the northern part, and the northeastern part, are facing regular earthquake activity. Fortunately, most of these earthquakes are not very strong, but unfortunately, there is the occasional that can cause enormous damage and loss of human lives.
