Best Answer

creep mass movement occurs where ice wedging takes place.(ice wedging means the ground is freezing and thawing over and over again) As the ground freezes, it expands the water in the soil to push up the sediments. when the ground thaws out all the sediments will fall downslope. Creep is a slow process.
