When it gets loosened from the surface of the hill.
Soil and rock particles fall due to gravity, which pulls them downwards towards the Earth's surface. Factors such as erosion, weathering, and human activities can also lead to the movement of soil and rock particles.
This is describing a phenomenon called erosion, where the movement of rocks and soil downhill is commonly caused by gravity, water, and vegetation. Over time, erosion can shape the landscape of mountains and other areas.
Creep creates changes in the landscape more slowly than rock fall. Creep is the gradual movement of soil and rock downhill over a long period of time, while rock fall is the sudden and rapid movement of rocks down a steep slope.
The downhill movement of rock or soil is called erosion. Erosion can be caused by natural processes like water flow, wind, glaciers, and gravity. It can also be accelerated by human activities such as deforestation and construction.
The very slow downhill movement of rock and soil is called creep. This gradual process is often imperceptible over short periods of time but can lead to significant changes in landscapes over long periods.
Slump
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.

Yes. Gravity is essential to shaping Earth's surface. Masses of rock and soil periodically fall, roll, and slide down from hills, mountains, and cliffs. Rain and snow fall on the surface, causing erosion and forming streams and rivers that flow downhill. Glaciers flow downhill, carving into solid rock. All of these processes are driven by gravity.
This is known as a landslide.
