Gelifluction is prominent in periglacial regions where snow falls during six to eight months of the year.

"' Gelifluction "', very similar to solifluction, is the seasonal freeze-thaw action upon waterlogging topsoils which induces downslope movement.
3.
Because the soil now a fluid, gelifluction is a form of mass movement that can occur on slopes with a slope angle of less than half a degree.
4.
Periglaciation results in a variety of ground conditions but especially those involving irregular, mixed deposits created by ice wedges, solifluction, gelifluction, frost creep and rockfalls.

A lobe is usually measured in terms of its front ( riser ) and its length upslope ( tread ); gelifluction lobes typically have risers of up to and treads of up to.
