A landslide is of big chunks of rock that slide down the hill and a mud flow is of clay that turn into a muddy mess.
So:
LANDSLIDE :is of big chunks of rock that slide down the hill
MUD FLOW :is of clay that turn into a muddy mess.

What natural disaster occurs when a wild fire has occurred?
If a fire has occurred on an area with steep slopes heavy rainfall may trigger landslides and mudflows.
Compare and contrast landslides and mudflows?

What are the dangers for people living near volcanoes?
Breathing in poisonous fumes, and of course falling into lava. :P

What is an example of fast mass movement?
landslides/bogbursts/mudflows the best answer is landslides
What does mass movement include?
mudflows slump creep landslides
What Mass movement includes?
mudflows slump creep landslides
How are landslides and mudflows similar?
They are both movement of rock and sediment down hillsides
Three kinds of mass movements?
The three main types of mass movements are landslides (movement of rock, soil, and debris down a slope), mudflows (rapid flow of a mixture of water, rock, soil, and debris), and rockfalls (sudden collapse or falling of rocks from a steep slope). These mass movements can be triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities.
What natural disaster occurs when a wild fire has occurred?
If a fire has occurred on an area with steep slopes heavy rainfall may trigger landslides and mudflows.
What is the difference between landslides and mudflows?
A landslide is the most destructive type of mass movement, and a mudflow is the rapid movement of a mixture of water, rock, and soil.
What are the 4 types of rapid mass movement?
a slump- a curved surface in the landa creep- sediment and trees lean downhill (slowly)rockfalls and rock slides- rocks break lose and tumble and fall downhillmudflow-it flows down a slope and occurs after a heavy rainfall in a area with lose sediment
Compare and contrast landslides and mudflows?
Landslides are when land breaks off of a mountain or hill and crumbles as it slides down destroying everything in its path. Mudflows are very similar to landslides but contain 60% of water.
How does landslides change the earth?
Landslides can make new lands after they occur. Because it looks different than before it occurred. landslides can change water sources too.
