| Comment |
The process of cryoturbation results in the disruption and distortion of soil horizons and structures, the formation of patterned ground, the growth of involutions, and the redistribution of organic-rich subsurface masses and layers. Downslope soil movements are more properly termed solifluction, gelifluction and frost creep, although many authors include the products of solifluction within the term cryoturbate.
