Debris Flow

A fast-moving mass of loose mud, sand, soil, rock, and water that travels down slopes and valleys, often caused by heavy rain or rapid snowmelt.

Earth Flow

Earth flow, a type of mass wasting, involves the downslope movement of soil, sediment, or rock under the influence of gravity, often lubricated by water.

Rotational Slide

A type of landslip characterized by the rotation of rock or earth around a point or axis, often leading to a concave landslide shape.

Debris Flow

A rapid flow of water-laden masses of soil, rock, and organic matter down slopes, often triggered by heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt.
