When the ground thaws, the force of gravity causes the soil and rock particles to fall back down. But they fall vertically, toward the center of Earth. The result is movement downhill.
errosion
Soil and rock particles fall due to gravity, which pulls them downwards towards the Earth's surface. Factors such as erosion, weathering, and human activities can also lead to the movement of soil and rock particles.

Soil and rock particles typically fall vertically downward due to the force of gravity. The direction of their fall is determined by the pull of gravity towards the center of the Earth.

weathering
Water from rainfall and runoff seep into the ground, so it fills the spaces between particles of soil and rock. The water freezes and gets bigger, (expands) and it causes the lifting of rock and soil. ☺
Gravity causes rock to fall away from steep mountains or cliffs and even by Landslides.
