Solifluction (English spelling)

Japanese: ソリフラクション(英語表記)solifluction
Solifluction (English spelling)
The slow, imperceptible movement of water-saturated soil and debris from a slope deposit from higher to lower elevations. In periglacial areas, the upper layers of the deposit move over the frozen layer, a common process [Anderson: 1906, Flint & Skinner: 1974]. The Latin words solum means soil and fluere means flow.
