Periglaciation
Similarly, solifluction associated with freeze-thaw extends into somewhat lower latitudes than on western coasts. Solifluction lobes – Solifluction lobes are formed when waterlogged soil slips down a slope due to gravity forming U shaped lobes.

Gelifluction
Gelifluction, very similar to solifluction, is the seasonal freeze-thaw action upon waterlogging topsoils which induces downslope movement.
