Question

Name TWO causes of soil creep

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

1. Freeze-thaw action: When water infiltrates the soil and then freezes, it can expand and push against the soil particles, causing them to slowly move downhill or outward.

2. Overloading: When additional weight or pressure is added to the soil, like from built structures or heavy machinery, it can cause the soil particles to slowly shift and move downhill.
