∙ 9y agoA lahars is the mud flow of a volcano. These dangerous mudslides are caused when the volcano erupts and melts the ice caps and the water mixes with the fine ash. These mud flow can still pose a threat year later as they can flow again in heavy rains.

∙ 7y agoVolcanic mudflows, called lahars, may be triggered in a few ways. Some are the direct result of an eruption. The heat of an eruption can melt snow and ice near a volcano's summit. The meltwater can then mix with ash to form a mudflow. In other cases, heavy rain can fall on loose ash and mobilize it to form a mudflow. Finally, over many years, acidic gasses can chemically break down rock inside a volcano. The deteriorating rock can combine with water from the surface or volcanic steam to form a sort of weak clay that can suddenly give way and trigger a mudflow.

A lahar is a mudflow that results from water mixing with volcanic ash. They can be hot or cold.A pyroclastic flow is a flow of superheatd ash, rock and gas that moves down the side of a volcano and is much hotter than a lahar. This material is ejected directly from a volcano.
How is a lahar different from a debris flow that may occur in southern California?
A lahar is specifically a mudflow of volcanic origin, ruslting from water mixing with volcanic ash. The debris flows in Southern California com from the soil and material weathered from preexisting rock.
How can a lahar occur without an eruption?
Lahar is an outflow of mud, rock and other pyroclastic material from a volcano which mixes with water as it proceeds down a river valley . Essentially it is a mudflow or landslide resulting from volcanic action, usually very fast moving and destructive. In some cases it can be more destructive than the actual volcanic eruption. Lahars look and behave like flowing debris, and concrete, (also ash) and their impact destroys most man made structures. Mt Rainer had lahars that traveled at 70/80 km/h at depths of 30 meters or more.
