Answer:

The correct answer is: slump, weathering, and creep

Step-by-step explanation:

In geology, The freezing and thawing cycle is a cycle of water that reaches the cracks of the soil space and freezes in the cold season and melt again in the summer or warmer season.

Slump, weathering, and creep are the three geological processes all depend on thawing and freezing cycle among other factors.

Slump: takes place when the coherent mass of loosely consolidated materials or a rock layer moves a short distance down a slope.

Weathering: it results in the slow and time-consuming disintegration of rocks into smaller sizes.

Creep: movement of soil or other debris down on slope slowly.
