  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008996",
  "term": "Snowcreep",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The slow, continuous downhill movement of a snowpack under its own weight, particularly on slopes, driven by gravity and internal deformation. This process is distinct from an avalanche, as it involves gradual, imperceptible motion rather than a sudden release. Snowcreep can exert considerable pressure on structures and vegetation over time.",
