A gravestone on a hill falls over after many years what is that called a landslide a mudslide a creep or a slump?
It falls over due to creep of the soil around it.
What temp does freezing rain occur?
Freezing rain occurs when the temputer ins below freezing
Is creep the slow movement of sediment down a slope?
Yes.
What does mass movement include?
mudflows slump creep landslides
What is creep speed?
Creep speed is a very slow, constant rate of motion of the trolley or bridge, usually established at 1% to 10% of the normal full speed. It is used on hoists, bridges, and trolleys.
Alternate freezing and thawing often leads to what?
Alternate freezing and thawing often leads to creep.
Alternate freezing and thawing often leads to?
creep
What is freezing and thawing of water can cause creep which is?
very slow downhill movement of rock and soil
What is creep thawing and freezing?
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.
What is freezing and thawing and freezing again?
the result of freezing and thawing and freezing is frost boil
Freezing and thawing are examples of?
Freezing and Thawing is an example of Mechanical Weathering.
How does thawing and freezing of water cause weather?
by the coldness of freezing and the warmness of thawing
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
How do freezing thawing wetting and drying contribute to soil creep?
Freezing/Thawing - Water in the soil freezing creates ice crystals that push the soil particles outwards, causing what is called "heave." When the ice crystals thaw, the soil flows don the slope due to gravity. Wetting/Drying - Heavy rainfall causes an increase to the moisture in the soil, which increases the volume and weight of the soil. This allows the soil to move down the slope under the influence of gravity. When the soil, especially clay, dries out, the soil contracts.
