The photograph depicts a large amount of rocks and debris that have fallen down the slope in a chaotic manner, indicating a debris avalanche. Creep is a slow, gradual movement of soil and rock downslope, while permafrost refers to permanently frozen ground that can contribute to certain types of slope failures, but is not evident in this photograph.
