What is the difference between landslides and creep?

Answer 1

Landslides are sudden, rapid movements of a large mass of rock, soil, or debris down a slope, often triggered by heavy rainfall or seismic activity. Creep, on the other hand, is a slow, continuous movement of soil or rock downhill over time, often imperceptible to the naked eye. While landslides can cause significant damage and occur quickly, creep is a gradual process that can lead to slow but steady deformation of the landscape.

Answer 2

Generally the speed at which the objects travel and the conclusion of the movement. A creep is an almost unnoticed, slow or gradual approach. It allows for the movement to be contained if necessary. A landslide can be a sudden falling of rock or any other detritus on or from a steep slope and is a dangerous occurrence. It can overwhelm whatever lies in its path.

Answer 3

Landslides are sudden, rapid movements of rock and soil down a slope, often triggered by heavy rainfall or human activities. Creep, on the other hand, is a slow, continuous movement of soil or rock downhill, typically caused by expansion and contraction of materials due to freeze-thaw cycles or wetting and drying.

Answer 4

whats the difference between a landslip and a landslide

Answer 5

Landslides come down in tiny particles whereas slumps come down in one large land mass.

Answer 6

A landslide goes down a steep slope and mudslide goes down gentle slopes.
