When the ground thaws, the force of gravity causes the soil and rock particles to fall back down. But they fall vertically, toward the center of Earth. The result is movement downhill.
Soil and rock particles typically fall vertically downward due to the force of gravity. The direction of their fall is determined by the pull of gravity towards the center of the Earth.
Water from rainfall and runoff seep into the ground, so it fills the spaces between particles of soil and rock. The water freezes and gets bigger, (expands) and it causes the lifting of rock and soil. ☺
Soil and rock particles rise due to the process of soil creep, caused by the expansion and contraction of soil particles with changes in temperature, or by the action of frost heaving where water freezes and expands, pushing particles upwards.
Soil particles typically include sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, silt particles are medium-sized, and clay particles are the smallest. Organic matter, water, and air pockets also make up soil composition.
Clay soil has the smallest rock particles compared to sand and silt. Clay particles are less than 0.002 mm in diameter, giving the soil its fine texture and ability to hold water well.

Rain mixes and can pulverize particles of soil.when rain water fall on the rock then it break the rock into smaller pieces.

the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....
Clay, silt, and sand are the three types of weathered rock particles found in soil.
soil is made up of weathered rock particles
