1 WE HAVE GRAFITIED YOUR PRESENTATION!!!!! LOL

2 PROCESS Definition Soil creep is the result of repeated expansion and contraction of particles of soil. Heavy rainfall increases the volume of the soil, therefore, weighs it down which makes the soil move downhill under gravity! Soil Creep is the slowest and least dramatic of all down slope movements. Speed of less than 1mm/year.

3 Guide Planes! Easily saturated top soil!

4 CONDITIONS Materials involved: Large sections of rock and soil. Weather Conditions Rain helps lubrication of the rock.

5 CONDITIONS CONTINUED GRAVITY The steeper the slope the higher the gravitational force. The steeper the slope the faster the movement. CONSEQUENCES Tilted trees, damaged walls, Cracked roads
