The Jan 20 2023 Blacks Beach landslide is an outstanding example of a rotational, base failure-type landslide that produces uplift of the ground surface beyond the base of the steep slope. Several videos captured uplift of the beach during slide movement, with Kent Ameneyro's (first link above) being the best in my opinion. This video uses physical models to explain how a "downward" process (the landslide) can produce uplift as it moves.
