Debris Flows

Debris Flow is a type of rapid mass wasting characterized by a saturated, heterogeneous mixture of water, rock fragments, soil, and organic material that moves downslope under gravity as a cohesive, viscous fluid, distinguished from other slope failures by its high density, mobility, and ability to transport large solid particles en masse.
