mudflow
Form of mass movement where fine textured sediments mix with water to create a liquid flow
mudflow
{i} current of water and mud
mudflow
A river of liquid and flowing mud on the surfaces of normally dry land areas, as when earth is carried by a current of water Other earth movements, such as landslide, slope failure, or a saturated soil mass moving by liquidity down a slope, are not mudflows
mudflow
A general term for a mass movement landform and a process characterized by a flowing mass of predominantly fine-grained earth material (particles less than 2 mm comprising more than 50 percent of the solid material) possessing a high degree of fluidity during movement If more than half of the solid fraction consists of material larger than sand size, debris flow is preferred
mudflow
A type of landslide characterized by large flows of mud and water
mudflow
A well-mixed mass of water and alluvium which, because of its high viscosity and low fluidity as compared with water, moves at a much slower rate, usually piling up and spreading over the fan like a sheet of wet mortar or concrete (Woolley, 1946, p 75 )
mudflow
n a mass of materials saturated with water that and moved downhill by gravity
mudflow
Flow of water that contains large amounts of suspended particles and silt. Mudflows usually occur on steep slopes where vegetation is too sparse to prevent rapid erosion, but they can also occur on gentle slopes under certain conditions. Factors other than slope include heavy precipitation in a short period and easily erodible material
mudflow
A flowage of water-saturated earth material possessing a high degree of fluidity during movement A less-saturated flowing mass is often called a debris flow A mudflow originating on the flank of a volcano is properly called a lahar
mudflow
when a slope is so heavily saturated with water that it rushes downhill as a muddy river, carrying down debris and spreading out at the base of the slope; the fastest, wettest flow of weathered material down a hillside
mudflow
Same as debris flow
