Creep is known to heat the subject materials for long period of times. It gets to where the materials get near the melting point with the increases of temperature.
very slow downhill movement of rock and soil
chemical change
no it is not melting is the reverse of freezing
Frost Wedging.
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
Alternate freezing and thawing often leads to creep.
creep
very slow downhill movement of rock and soil
the result of freezing and thawing and freezing is frost boil
Freezing and Thawing is an example of Mechanical Weathering.
by the coldness of freezing and the warmness of thawing
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures

Freezing and thawing
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.
Melting and freezing are the correct terms for this phase change.
