What operates primarily in areas of permafrost?
solifluction
What Is the name of the process in which beach sediment moved down is called?
This process is known as longshore drift.
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.
Why does itcz wind occur?
why ITCZ occur
Do tsunamis occur in deserts?
No. They occur in coastal areas.
What season does solifluction occur?
Solifluction only occurs during the summer. :)

Water-saturated debris over impermeable materials is called?
solifluction
Which process of mass wasting occurs primarily in permafrost regions?
solifluction
Is solifluction an important mass wasting process in areas of permafrost?
true
What is solifluction?
Solifluction is a type of mass wasting or creep that occurs in regions with permafrost or gelisols. It is characterized by the gradual downhill movement of water-saturated soils over impermeable materials due to freeze-thaw cycles, resulting in the slow flow of the soil. This process is common in Arctic and subarctic regions.
What kinds of mass wasting processes do you we see?
we have soil creep,solifluction,rock falls,earthflows,mud flows
Why is solifluction only a summertime?
In the summer, the soil thaws to some depth below the surface, but the water is trapped in the thawed soil because the permafrost zone is impermeable. Thus solifluction occurs only in the summer when the surface soil layer is thawed. In the winter the surface soil layer is frozen solid.
