This is the force that moves soil down a slope

This is the slow, downslope flow of water saturated material in permafrost areas

This is the mechanical breakup of rock by the expansion of freezing water in cracks and crevices

This is the exposed, crescent shaped ruptured surface at the head of a slump

This type of weathering occurs when the internal structure of a mineral is altered.

This includes all soil horizons above the C-horizon

The down slope movement of rock, regolith, and soil under the direct influence of gravity

This is the steepest angle at which loose material remains stationary without sliding
