reptation de talus

OBS: La reptation (ou creeping en anglais) désigne un lent mouvement des particules superficielles du sol vers le bas des versants.

CONT: Slope movements do not need to be large to be destructive-even slope creep or small, early-stage landslide movements can cause substantial structural damage to critical facilities such as dams, resulting in major economic damage and loss of life.
CONT: Active erosion of the rises and slow but constant down slope creep of rock and soil prohibits the formation of a deep soil profile.
