Soil creep is the slow, down slope movement of soil under the influence of gravity. Frost heave, thermal expansion and contraction of the surface, alternate wetting and drying of the soil can cause soil creep.

This can be explained by shrink-swell cycles (freezing-thawing, wetting-drying), soil creep, and biologic mixing, which are more intense in the upper horizon. ... In general, a shift to a drier regime with periods of evaporation would contribute to carbonate accumulation.

A. gravity exerts a much stronger force when the soil is wet and thawed, dropping it a slight distance downslope B. eventually, these cause the soil and regolith to suddenly slide down the slope causing much damage C. the soil becomes much weaker when dry and frozen, allowing it to flow downhill in small steps D.
