The trench depth is progressively shallower to the north and to the south, with the depth near 8,000 meters at the southern terminal and around 6,000 meters at the northern terminal.

Large lahars hundreds of metres wide and tens of metres deep can flow several tens of metres per second (22 mph or more), much too fast for people to outrun. [9] On steep slopes, lahar speeds can exceed 200 kilometres per hour (120 mph). [9] A lahar can cause catastrophic destruction along a potential path of more than 300 kilometres (190 mi). [10]
