11. Solifluction should not be confused with earthflow, which is a much more rapid process.12. Other factors in solifluction are : sparse vegetation, snow melt and high amounts of precipitation. 13. Some of the steeper slopes of the Level Mountain Range are confined to nivation and solifluction . 14. Solifluction occurs when the night temperatures freeze the soil before it thaws again in the morning.15. There, solifluction and cryoplanation surfaces are developed, including lobe-shaped ground and block ramparts. 16. Landscapes that have been a product of solifluction have been described as having the consistency of thick porridge. 17. The Devil's Dyke V-shaped dry valley is the result of solifluction and river erosion. 18. Small examples are probably very widespread where solifluction deposits contain large concentrations of frost-resistant rock blocks. 19. Where the gradient exceeds 20 degrees solifluction appears to have been a more dominant process preventing their formation. 20. Solifluction deposits, which were created by melting of the underlying permafrost, veneer the surface of the uplands.
