The slow downhill movement of soil or rock

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a pile of laundry stacked neatly on a sloped surface, only to find that over time, it gradually slides down and loses its shape. This is similar to how soil or rock slowly moves downhill in a process known as creep. Just as gravity slowly pulls the laundry down the slope, causing it to shift and settle over time, gravity also acts on soil and rock, causing them to gradually move and reshape the landscape.
