Is a creep formed by erosion or deposition?

Creep is formed by erosion.


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.


Landslides rock Falls and creep are all examples of erosion and deposition by which erosion agent?

Gravity. Landslides, rock falls, and creep are all examples of erosion and deposition caused by the force of gravity pulling materials downhill over time.


What Landslide rockfall and creep are examples of erosion and deposition by what erosion agent?

Landslides, rockfalls, and creep are examples of erosion caused by gravity, where material is moved downslope. These processes result in the deposition of material at the base of a slope or transport it to another location.


Water erosion begins when runoff from rainfall flows in a thin layer over the land in a kind of erosion called?

Sheet erosion


Landslides rockfalls and creep are all examples of erosion and deposition by which erosion agent?

Landslides, rockfalls, and creep are all examples of erosion and deposition by gravity as the primary erosion agent. These processes involve the downslope movement of rock and sediment due to the force of gravity, leading to erosion and deposition of material on the Earth's surface over time.


What is the agent of erosion for creep?

there are actually five types. water, wind, waves, glaciers, and gravity.


What are creeps agents of erosion?

Creeps are a type of slow, ongoing mass movement of soil and rock downhill, typically due to gravity. While they are involved in the process of erosion by gradually moving material down a slope, they are not agents of erosion themselves. Instead, creeps primarily contribute to the process of soil creep, which does not necessarily involve significant erosion.


Which is a very slow type of erosion that moves rocks and soil is it a glacier a creep a landslide or weathering?

A creep is a slow type of erosion that moves rocks and soil gradually downhill over time. Glaciers and landslides are more rapid forms of erosion, while weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks and soils by various processes.


Is a creep created by deposition or erosion?

Creep is a type of mass movement, which some people misconceive as a form of erosion. The creep often occurs when the top part is so heavy that the bedding plane cannot hold the material any longer, and the material creeps slowly down the slope, taking many years.

What is a Landslide and creep erosion?

A landslide is the downward movement of rock, soil, and debris on a slope, often triggered by heavy rainfall or earthquakes. Creep erosion is the slow, gradual movement of soil or rock downhill due to gravity, often characterized by the bending of trees or fences on slopes. Both processes can cause significant damage to structures and landscapes.
