Leaning fenceposts is a type of mass movement known as "solifluction." This occurs when saturated soil gradually flows down a slope due to gravity, often in areas with permafrost or where the ground becomes waterlogged. As the soil moves, it can cause structures like fenceposts to lean or tilt, indicating the underlying ground instability. This phenomenon is typically slow and may not be immediately noticeable.
