Soil creep is a very slow movement of soil down a slope, which generally does not pose a direct threat to human life but can cause significant damage to structures, roads, and landscapes over time. It is detectable through certain signs, such as bent tree trunks and displaced fences, and does not directly trigger snow avalanches.
