Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soil creep is the slow downhill movement of soil and rock due to expansion and contraction cycles caused by changes in temperature and moisture content. This can cause cracks in walls, pipes to break, and driveways to crack. It does not typically cause frost wedging, translation gliding, or debris flows, and sublimation is the transition of a solid directly to a gas, which is not related to the movement of soil and rock.
