Which type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because freezing and 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

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.
