  2. Debris flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debris_flow

    Debris flows tend to move in a series of pulses, or discrete surges, wherein each pulse or surge has a distinctive head, body and tail. A debris flow in Ladakh, triggered by storms in 2010. It has poor sorting and levees. Steep source catchment is visible in background. Debris-flow deposits are readily recognizable in the field.

  3. Mudflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudflow

    A mudflow, also known as mudslide or mud flow, is a form of mass wasting involving fast-moving flow of debris and dirt that has become liquified by the addition of water. [1] Such flows can move at speeds ranging from 3 meters/minute to 5 meters/second. [2] Mudflows contain a significant proportion of clay, which makes them more fluid than ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landslide

    For example, a landslide can initiate as a rock fall or topple and then, as the blocks disintegrate upon the impact, transform into a debris slide or flow. An avalanching effect can also be present, in which the moving mass entrains additional material along its path.

  5. Alluvial fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alluvial_fan

    Floods may transition to hyperconcentrated flows as they entrain sediments, while debris flows may become hyperconcentrated flows if they are diluted by water. [60] Because flooding on alluvial fans carries large quantities of sediment, channels can rapidly become blocked, creating great uncertainty about flow paths that magnifies the dangers.

  6. Hyperconcentrated flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperconcentrated_flow

    A hyperconcentrated flow is a two-phase flowing mixture of water and sediment in a channel which has properties intermediate between fluvial flow and debris flow. [1] Large quantities of sand may be transported throughout the flow column, but the transport of suspended and bedload sediment along the channel depends on flow turbulence and high flow velocities, and coarser sediment remains as ...
