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.
very slow downhill movement of rock and soil
chemical change
no it is not melting is the reverse of freezing
Freezing and thawing cycles refer to the repeated process of water freezing and then melting in a material or area. These cycles can cause damage to structures, roads, and other surfaces as the expansion and contraction of water can lead to cracks, fractures, and other forms of deterioration over time.
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
very slow downhill movement of rock and soil
Alternate freezing and thawing often leads to creep.
the result of freezing and thawing and freezing is frost boil
by the coldness of freezing and the warmness of 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
Freezing and thawing are examples of phase changes that occur when a substance transitions between solid and liquid states due to changes in temperature. This process is known as freezing when a substance transitions from liquid to solid, and thawing when it transitions from solid to liquid.
creep mass movement occurs where ice wedging takes place.(ice wedging means the ground is freezing and thawing over and over again) As the ground freezes, it expands the water in the soil to push up the sediments. when the ground thaws out all the sediments will fall downslope. Creep is a slow process.

thawing
Melting and freezing are the correct terms for this phase change.
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.
It is thawing.
