Although slow, creeps very important as the movement is almost continuous and acts on all weathered slopes. Individual particles are pushed to the surface by wetting, heating or freezing of soil moisture. They move at right angles to the surface. (Figure 1.6). The particles fall vertically, under the influence of gravity, as they dry out or cool or as soil moisture thaws. The result of millions of such movements over time is a net movement downslope. As the processes of creep involve a lifting of the surface, the term heave is sometimes used to describe soil creep. </p><p>Section 3: Soil Creep This diagram shows a slope before mass movement. Draw and explain with labels what it would look like in the future if soil creep had occurred.
