What is another word for mudslide?
Pronunciation: [mˈʌdsla͡ɪd] (IPA) 
A mudslide is a natural disaster that is caused by the sliding of wet soil, rocks, and other debris down a sloping terrain. To describe this phenomenon, several synonyms can be used, including landslip, slope failure, debris flow, mudflow, earthflow, and slump. Landslip refers to the sudden movement of soil and rocks down a slope due to gravity. A debris flow is a mixture of soil, rocks, and water that flows rapidly down a steep terrain. Mudflow describes the movement of wet soil and debris down a slope. Earthflow is the slow movement of a mass of soil or rock downhill. Slump is a type of landslip where the soil and rocks move as a mass rather than sliding layer by layer.
