That would be called a landslide, which is the movement of rock, soil, and sand down a slope due to the force of gravity. It can occur suddenly or gradually depending on various factors such as slope, soil composition, and water content. Landslides can cause significant damage to property and pose risks to human life and infrastructure.
Soil and rock particles typically fall vertically downward due to the force of gravity. The direction of their fall is determined by the pull of gravity towards the center of the Earth.
Soil and rock particles fall due to gravity, which pulls them downwards towards the Earth's surface. Factors such as erosion, weathering, and human activities can also lead to the movement of soil and rock particles.
The process is called mass wasting or mass movement. It refers to the downslope movement of rock, soil, and debris under the influence of gravity. This can result in various forms such as landslides, rockfalls, and slumps.
Gravity is the force that pulls rock and soil down a slope. As materials become loosened, gravity causes them to move downhill due to the force of gravity acting upon them.
Permeable layers from most to least permeable: loose soil, sand, gravel, hard clay, solid rock. This means that water and other substances can more easily pass through loose soil and sand compared to clay or solid rock.

A landslide.

When the ground thaws, the force of gravity causes the soil and rock particles to fall back down. But they fall vertically, toward the center of Earth. The result is movement downhill.

No, only about 20% of deserts are covered by sand. Some are covered by soil and others by rock and others by a combination of sand, soil and rock.
Gravity
Gravity is the force that pulls rock and soil down a slope. As materials become loosened, gravity causes them to move downhill due to the force of gravity acting upon them.
Gravity
sand is a type of soil and quartz is a type of rock but studies show that soil is just rock in smaller form so really they're the same thing
by erosion from wind and water
