Both landslides and avalanches are can be caused by heavy rain or snow. An avalanche is great volumes of mass sliding down a sloped area, a mudslide or mudflow also are great volumes of mass sliding down a sloped area. these are some of the similarities between a mudslide and an avalanche.

What characteristics do all types of mass movements have in common?

The various types of mass movement of ground (creep, slump, landslide, mudslide) are all created by the same exerted force, which is gravity. Even liquid erosion and subsidence are caused by gravity, if indirectly, because water is flowing downhill, to a lower level. Gravity is also what squeezes water up or sideways into rock strata, except for the very rare exception, which is geothermal steam.

Is soil creep the same as debris flow?

No, soil creep and debris flow are not the same. Soil creep is the slow, gradual movement of soil downslope due to gravity, while debris flow is a rapid, fluid-like mass movement of water, sediment, and rocks down a slope. Debris flow is typically more destructive and can occur during heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt.

What are common effects of mudflows?

Mudflows occur when earth, rocks, and other landform becomes saturated into the water, thus, creating a landslide. The effect of mudflow can change the geological and geographical structure of any landform and at the same time is also capable of destroying both small and large structures.


Why might mudflows cause more damage than flood waters?

A mudflow is largelysilt and clay, unlike a flood which is primarily water. As a result, a mudflow is denser and so carries more force with which it may sweep away buildings scour at the ground and at stream channels. In some cases a mudflow has about the same density as concrete.
