Answer: soil creep

The mass movement or mass wasting is a natural process by which the soil particles, boulders and slopes moves down the hill or mountain.

Soil creep is the slow downhill progression of rock and soil. It is characterized by the slow deformation of the materials on the slope due to exertion of prolonged pressure and stress. It forms characteristic patterns such as wrinkles, terraces on the hill slides.
