ABSTRACT
Soil creep became a necessary process in geomorphology to explain denudation slopes that are too gentle for mass failure, and that show evidence of erosion by running water. The elusive relationship between the downslope component of soil creep and slope angle has been investigated using the tube and telescope data. The soil is envisaged as an aggregate of particles which usually act as individual bodies. The efforts of H. Mucher and others in applying micromorphological analysis in studies of geomorphological processes is a highly desirable development which could improve understanding of soil creep. Soil creep may be seen to have a multiplicity of causes with different combinations present in different areas and with individual factors varying in intensity from place to place or from time to time, or being absent altogether.
