Slow movement of the surface due to freeze-thaw or wetting-drying cycles.  2, record 5, English, - creep

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Creep is caused by repeated freeze-thaw cycles that slowly inch material downslope(during freezing, particles are elevated perpendicular to the slope, but during thaws they fall straight down to a new position lower on the slope). Creep can also be caused by a buildup of pore water that allows material to begin to flow under the influence of gravity.  3, record 5, English, - creep
