Answer:

The answer would be slumping.

Explanation: It wouldn't be a soil creep because a landslide moves very quickly. Slumping, by definition, is "a fast downhill movement of soil." I had this question on a test and got it right with slumping as my answer. Hope this helps!

Answer: Soil creep

Step-by-step explanation:

Landslide is a hazardous event which occurs when the mass of rock or debris flows downward in a typically slopy area. It occurs under the effect of the gravitational force. Soil creep is a phenomena of the downward movement of the soil, mud and sediments down the slope. It will promote landslide in a region.
