Creep is like when you have a slow-moving snail. Imagine how it moves very, very slowly across the garden. It doesn’t rush, but over time, it covers a lot of ground. In the same way, creep is something that happens very slowly, almost like a tiny sneaky change that you might not notice right away.
Think about a rubber band. If you pull it just a little bit and hold it there, over time, it might start to stretch more and more, even if you don’t pull any harder. This is like creep, where things change slowly over a long time without you even realizing it.
Another way to understand creep is by looking at a candle. When you light it, the wax melts and slowly drips down the side. It’s not fast, but if you watch it for a while, you’ll see the wax has moved. Just like that, creep is a slow movement or change that happens so gradually that you need to be patient to see it happening.
