Alternate freezing and thawing often leads to

a. creep
b. slumps
c. mud flows
d. earth flows

The answer from the given options is "A. Creep".

Alternate freezing and thawing often leads to "creep".

Creep refers to the low mass development of soil and soil material down slants, driven fundamentally by gravity yet facilitated by immersion with water and by substitute freezing and thawing. Generally not distinguishable with the exception of through expanded perception.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
