Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solifluction occurs primarily in areas of permafrost, which is soil that remains frozen year-round. The freezing and thawing of the soil causes it to slowly flow downhill, carrying soil and rock with it. Rock avalanches, soil creep, and mudflows can occur in a variety of environments and are not primarily associated with permafrost.
