Creep is the slow downward movement of regolith as a result of gravitational force. Before the initiation of the creeping process, the regolith is in what physicists call a condition of unstable equilibrium: it remains in place, yet a relatively small disturbance would be enough to dislodge.
The various types of mass movement of ground (creep, slump, landslide, mudslide) are all created by the same exerted force, which is Gravity. Even liquid erosion and subsidence are caused by gravity, if indirectly, because water is flowing downhill, to a lower level.
Gravity is also what squeezes water up or sideways into rock strata, except for the very rare exception, which is geothermal steam.
The characteristics that all mass movements have in common is that they all have the downward pull of gravity. They also all have momentum and kinetic energy.

Mass movement is the movement of surface material caused by gravity. Landslides and rockfalls are examples of very sudden movements of this type. Of course geological agents such as water, wind and ice all work with gravity to cause a leveling of land. A block diagram of an earth flow where movement is a combination of slip and flow.
Water aids in the downslope movement of surface material in several ways. Water adds weight to the soil; it fills pore spaces of slope material and it exerts pressure which tends to push apart individual grains. This decreases the resistance of the material to movement. Landslide is a general term that is commonly broken down into the more specialized terms such as slump, rockslide, debris slide, mudflow and earthflow.
Slump A slump is a downward and outward movement of rock or unconsolidated material moving as a unit or series of units. Large blocks of material move suddenly downward and outward along a curved plane.
Rockslide Rockslides are the most catastrophic type of landslide. They involve a sudden rapid slide of bedrock along planes of weakness. Rockslides are very common in the oversteepened canyons and drainages of Idaho, particularly in those areas like the Salmon River Canyon where more than 5,000 feet of elevation may exist between the ridge tops and the canyon bottoms.
Debris Slide A debris slide is a small sudden downstope movement of unconsolidated material. This type of slide produces a hummocky surface of low relief.
Mudflow A mudflow is a mass of saturated rock particles of all sizes. This type of landslide is caused by a sudden flood of water from a cloudburst in semi-arid country or a sudden thaw. The flood waters carry the soil and rocks from a large slope area and washes them to a gulch or canyon. 'Then the water and debris move down the canyon and spread out on the gentle slopes below. Mudflows are very common in the semi-arid areas of southwestern Idaho.
Earthflow An earthflow is a downslope movement of soil which has been saturated with water to the extent that the debris moves as a fluid. While flowing, either slowly or rapidly, the mass generally remains covered by a blanket of vegetation. Typically a steep scarp is developed where the moving debris has pulled away from the upper slope. A hummocky lobe forms at the toe or front of the earthflow.
Talus A talus slope is developed by an accumulation of rock fragments at the foot of a cliff or ridge. Rock fragments break loose from the cliff above, roll down the slope and pile up in a heap of rock rubble. Individual talus forms as a half-cone with the apex pointing upwards. In most cases a series of half cones coalesce around the base of a mountain.
Placement of this major north-south highway over an active slide area has resulted in a section of highway constantly deformed and broken by the slowly-moving land surface.
Warm Springs Mesa Slide Warm Springs Mesa is situated immediately south of Table Rock in east Boise. The entire Warm Springs Mesa is a 300-acre landslide. The construction of Warm Springs Avenue along the toe of the landslide has caused an oversteepened natural slope. There has been sliding along this oversteepened slope for years and debris is constantly falling on Warm Springs Avenue. Although geologists have long cautioned against development until study of the effect of increased water in the sediment is cornpleted, development of the subdivision has not stopped.
All types of mass movement cause problems and sometimes can kill things. It really depends on where the mass movement occurs. Mass movements also damage plants. It can squish the plants and kill them, so it upsets the things that eat plants.
The types of characteristics they all have in common with mass movement is the ground giving out and sliding away because of gravitational pull. Some terms for that is steep, slope, creep, rockfall, rock slides, mudflows, dropping, sediments, and slump.
Gravity pulls things downward and mass movements have gravity which is a part of erosion.That means that they cause weathering:):):):):):):):):):):):):):p:p

Every mass movement has a gravitational pull and can be very destructive. Also all mass movements move downhill Most mass movements are started by rain.
All mass movements happen because of gravity. they also cause problems, but it depends on where it happens. It can kill things like plants, too by crushing them.
Creep is the slow downward movement of regolith as a result of gravitational force. Before the initiation of the creeping process, the regolith is in what physicists call a condition of unstable equilibrium: it remains in place, yet a relatively small disturbance would be enough to dislodge.
I found this in the "way more info than you need know"
Slump occurs when a mass of regolith slides over or creates a concave surface (one shaped like the inside of a bowl). The result is the formation of a small, crescent-shaped cliff, known as a scarp, at the upper end—rather like the crest of a wave. Soil flow takes place at the bottom end of the slump. One is likely to see slumps in any place where forces, whether man-made or natural, have graded material to a slope too steep for its angle of repose. This may happen along an interstate highway, where a road crew has cut the slope too sharply, or on a riverbank, where natural erosion has done its work.
Often, slump is classified as a variety of slide, in which material moves downhill in a fairly coherent mass (i.e., more or less in a section or group) along a flat or planar surface. These movements sometimes are called rock slides, debris slides, or, in common parlance, landslides. Among the most destructive types of mass wasting, they may be set in motion by earthquakes, which are caused by plate tectonic processes, or by hydrologic agents (i.e., excessive rain or melting snow and ice). F LOW
When a less uniform, or more chaotic, mass of material moves rapidly downslope, it is called flow. Flow is divided into categories, depending on the amounts of water involved: granular flow (0-20% water) and slurry flow (20-40% water). Creep and solifluction often are classified as very slow forms of granular and slurry flow, respectively. In order of relative speed. Scienceclearfied.com
