What else can I help you with?
What was the damage Mount St Helens caused to the area when it erupted in 1980?
Mud slide and land slides
Are mud volcanoes dangerous?
Mud volcanoes can be dangerous due to the potential for sudden eruptions of mud, gas, and rocks. They can also emit toxic gases like methane and hydrogen sulfide, posing a risk to nearby communities. However, with proper monitoring and precautions, the risk can be minimized.
How does rain cause rocks slides?
Rain can cause rock slides by saturating the ground, increasing the weight of rocks, and reducing the friction between them. This can weaken the stability of slopes, making it easier for rocks to break loose and slide down. Additionally, prolonged or intense rain can erode the base of a slope, further destabilizing rocks and triggering slides.
What hapens during a avalanche?
In an avalanche a small amount of snow or mud on a mountain or hill starts moving downhill. As it moves, more snow or mud joins it. As it slides along, it starts knocking over items in its path and burying them. Sometimes those objects are humans. If it is snow and the people are not rescued soon enough, they die. In California, a number of people do not like all the plants on the hill sides so they remove them. When a strong rain comes, it turns the hillside to mud. An avalanche comes. Mud covers the houses below. If it takes enough land away from the top of the hill, a house up there is likely to lose its foundation and start falling over the hill. While inclement weather in California provides the immediate cause of the avalanches of mud, people clearing land of trees and brushes is the real reason they happen.
How are avalanches or landslides alike?
Avalanches and landslides are similar, as they are both a natural event, where snow/ice or mud freely slides down an inclined surface e.g. a mountain. Other than what is actually sliding, thereis almost no difference between the two.
What is Sudden movement of soil saturated with water?

What is a mud slide?
mud slide is same as land slide when there is heavy rain in mountain region mud gets wet & slides down the hill slopes
Which bike is better on ruby?
The acro bike is used to clear obstacles but can't clear mud slides, the mach bike is for pure speed and for getting past mud slides. If anything choose the acro bike.
What is a slide of hot mud?
A slide of hot mud, also known as a mudflow or debris flow, is a fast-moving mixture of water, rock, and mud that flows down a slope. These slides can be triggered by heavy rainfall, volcanic eruptions, or earthquakes, and they can be very destructive to surrounding areas. The hot mud often contains volcanic ash or other debris, making it particularly dangerous.
What happens when a plate moves?
usually there would earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mud slides

What is part mud and rock that slides down the mountain?
That would be an avalanche. It occurs when a mass of snow, ice, mud, and rocks rapidly falls down a mountainside due to various factors like heavy snowfall, earthquakes, or human activity. Avalanches can be dangerous and destructive events in mountainous regions.
Earthquakes can cause a large downhill movement called?
Earthquakes can trigger landslides, which are large downhill movements of earth and rock.
