The slow, steady downhill flow of loose, weathered earth materials is called a. flow. b. slide. c. slump. d. creep.

The correct answer is (D) creep.

Explanation- Creep is the tendency of a solid material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of mechanical stresses. Creep deformation does not occurs suddenly upon the application of stress. Instead, strain accumulates as a result of long-term stress. Temperature also play a crucial role in the creep.
