A mudslide, also known as a mudflow, is a rapid movement of a mixture of water, soil, and debris down a slope. It typically occurs after heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or seismic activity, which saturates the ground and reduces its stability. The flowing mass can vary in size and speed, posing significant risks to property and life in its path. Factors like deforestation, construction, and land use can exacerbate the likelihood of mudslides.
