soil creep is the slowest form of mass movement. the expansion and contraction of the water within soil is the main cause of it. wetting causes the soil to expand and to move downslope under the influence of gravity.

How can you prevent soil creeps?
it is when soil moves slowley down or up hill very slowly.
What facts do you have on soil creeps?
Soil creep is the slowest form of mass movement.It is caused by gravity on gentle slopes where the top materials are sliding away from the bedrock.Evidence of soil creep include, fallen stone walls ,twisted tree trunks and grave stones leaning over.
What might you find in the soil?

What is undisturbed soil?
Soil that has not been touched by man or machine. It is soil that has developed naturally and has not been tilled or had chemicals added to it. Such soil is getting harder to find.
