Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soil creep is the slow, imperceptible downhill movement of soil and regolith due to seasonal expansion and contraction cycles. Solifluction, on the other hand, involves the slow downhill flow of water-saturated soil over permafrost or impermeable bedrock. A slump and landslide both involve more sudden and rapid movements of soil and rock.
