Verified Answer :

Slanted telephone poles are evidence of "creep" since this is usually the result of some kind of soil degradation, although this is not always the case for the cause of the lean.

Answer: creep

Explanation:

A creep is a disturbance of soil in which the crust becomes unstable. The soil particles moves down the slope which exerts force on the roots of the trees and on any other object which get tilted off. This results in uprooting of trees.

The slanted telephone poles indicate creep as it moves downward due to the movement of the soil layer.
