A bog burst is a natural phenomenon that occurs when a saturated peatland or bog becomes unstable and collapses, often due to heavy rainfall or prolonged wet conditions. This results in the sudden release of water, soil, and organic material, which can flow rapidly downhill, potentially causing flooding and damaging surrounding areas. Bog bursts can also contribute to erosion and disrupt local ecosystems. They are particularly common in areas with significant peat deposits, such as wetlands and moorlands.
