Ground creep is a slow downward movement of a hill or mountain slope without the formation of demolition forms. The decisive factor for this is the continuous flow of movement of the soil.
The main driver of collapse is the movement of the surface layer particles during expansion in a direction perpendicular to the slope, followed by vertical collapse on contraction. The visible effect of the collapsing is the inclination of fences and poles, as well as trees that grow out of the ground towards the slope and have trunks curved vertically, in more extreme cases it may be cracks on the walls of buildings.
