Generally the speed at which the objects travel and the conclusion of the movement. A creep is an almost unnoticed, slow or gradual approach. It allows for the movement to be contained if necessary. A landslide can be a sudden falling of rock or any other detritus on or from a steep slope and is a dangerous occurrence. It can overwhelm whatever lies in its path.

What are landslides mudflow slump and creep examples of?
mass movement
How are avalanches or landslides alike?
Avalanches and landslides are similar, as they are both a natural event, where snow/ice or mud freely slides down an inclined surface e.g. a mountain. Other than what is actually sliding, thereis almost no difference between the two.
What is the relationship between earthquakes and landslides?
They're the four types of erosion.
Are landslides real?
Yes. Landslides are real events.
Compare and contrast landslides and mudflows?
Landslides are when land breaks off of a mountain or hill and crumbles as it slides down destroying everything in its path. Mudflows are very similar to landslides but contain 60% of water.
What does mass movement include?
mudflows slump creep landslides
What Mass movement includes?
mudflows slump creep landslides
What are landslides mudflow slump and creep examples of?
mass movement
Is the most destructive kind of mass movement the creep?
no. is the landslides
What is difference between a landslide and a creep?
one is water and the other is land
What is difference between landslide and creep?
Mass movement is a fast process in the formation of landslides.Mass movement is a slow process in the formation of creep.
What is the difference between a creep and a mudflow?
1.soil creep is a slow process where as mud flow is a sudden and fast process. 2.soil creep doesn't cause any disaster where as mud flow is disastrous.
Difference between Stress relaxation test and creep test?
Creep - increase in deformation while load is cst Relaxation - decrease in load while deformation is cst.
What has the author Peter Goodwin written?
Peter Goodwin has written: 'Landslides, slumps, & creep' -- subject(s): Mass-wasting, Avalanches, Soil mechanics, Juvenile literature, Landslides 'Physics with computers' -- subject(s): Physics, Data processing, Computer programs
What is the difference between landslides and mudflows?
A landslide is the most destructive type of mass movement, and a mudflow is the rapid movement of a mixture of water, rock, and soil.
What are the 4 types of rapid mass movement?
a slump- a curved surface in the landa creep- sediment and trees lean downhill (slowly)rockfalls and rock slides- rocks break lose and tumble and fall downhillmudflow-it flows down a slope and occurs after a heavy rainfall in a area with lose sediment
How are avalanches or landslides alike?
Avalanches and landslides are similar, as they are both a natural event, where snow/ice or mud freely slides down an inclined surface e.g. a mountain. Other than what is actually sliding, thereis almost no difference between the two.
