What is the slowest type of mass wasting?
Soil creep is the slowest form of mass wasting.
Is soil creep the same as debris flow?
No. Soil creep is the very slow movement of soil, taking years to have a noticeable effect. A debris flow often moves very rapidly.
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.
What is the very slow downhill movement of rock and soil?
creep
What is creep abrasion?
Creep is the slow mass movement of soil particles down a slope. It is so slow that we do not see it happen. Creep is often shown in the form of tilted objects along the slope.
What is the slowest type of mass wasting?
Soil creep is the slowest form of mass wasting.
What is The slowest type of mass movement which involves the lifting and contracting of soil particles over time is called?
It is called soil creep.also solifluction
Creep?
Soil particles moving downhill

What is the soil moving slowly downhill called?
Erosion. More specifically in soils this is likely to be creep or solifluction. These are types of mass wasting.
What is the very slow downhill movement of rock and soil?
creep
What is the slow movement of soil down steep hills?
Downhill Creep
What is creep abrasion?
Creep is the slow mass movement of soil particles down a slope. It is so slow that we do not see it happen. Creep is often shown in the form of tilted objects along the slope.
Why soil creep occurs at low velocities?
Because when soil met water, it will become saturated at the top layer. As the progress keep repeating, it will flow down the hill (if the soil creep is occurred on a hill). The soil will be natural falling, it doesn't need force or being force to move down the hill.
When rocks and soil move very slowly down a hill it is called?
A creep
A gravestone on a hill falls over after many years what is that called a landslide a mudslide a creep or a slump?
It falls over due to creep of the soil around it.
