A mudflow is a mass of saturated rock particles of all sizes. This type of landslide is caused by a sudden flood of water from a cloudburst. The flood waters carry the soil and rocks from a large slope area and washes them to a gulch or canyon. Then the water and debris move down the canyon and spread out on the gentle slopes below. Mudflows can be really fast because of the high water content, and quite damaging to an area. They are caused by earthquakes, rapid melting of snow, and volcanic activity. Mudflows are dangerous mass movements, and hard to avoid because of beautiful mother nature.
