Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solifluction is a type of soil movement that occurs due to the saturation of the active layer on a sloping surface. This movement is facilitated by the freezing and thawing of the layer, which causes it to become unstable and flow downhill. Gravel or sand are not necessarily required for solifluction to occur, but soil saturation and sloping surfaces are necessary conditions.
