Mudflow damage!

1.What conditions might cause mud to flow?
A lahar can cause a mud flow.
2. What conclusion can you draw from the two images?
When the board is at a landslide then the mud on the board will move.
3. List at least two ways you could make the mud slide off the 30° slide plane without changing the plane's angle.
1. You could change the about of sand you put on the slide
2. Or you could change the amount of water you add.
You could add water to it and you can add more dirt.
4. What conditions in nature would be represented by the answers you gave for question 3?
The more the rain the dangerous it could be for people, And the steeper the hill.
5. List at least two factors that contribute to the formation of mudflows on volcanoes.
1.Water
2.Gravity
6. How might forest fires affect an area's potential for experiencing mudflows?
If its on a hill a steep hill and if a fire were to start then it would heat up the water thats in the ground and then a mudflow would start.
7. Hypothesize about how mudflows could change the topography of an area after a fire.
It can change by when a fire heats it up then it will start to move.
8. What human activities strip soil of its protective vegetation and increase its vulnerability to mudflows?
Dry Sand. The type of sand that isn't so wet.
9. Write a paragraph describing the conditions that cause dangerous mudflows. Include the types of locations where mudslides are most likely to occur.
Some conditions that a mudflow can cause is destruction of houses and lost of homes and people dying because of these mudflows. the more likely to occur in the west part of the United States.

Mass movment

1.Types of mass movement are slump and earthflow.
Example:

Bedrock: Most common are slides or falls of small blocks of bedrock that break off by enlargement of joints during weathering. Massive rockslide's or rockfalls involving much greater volumes of material are rare but are spectacular.

Soil: Mud and earth imply materials that consist mostly of clay and silt. In a mudflow there is enough water to allow the mixture to flow easily, as a viscous stream. An earthflow is slower moving than a mudflow and involves a mass of material that retains rather distinct boundaries as it moves

Water: Movements of snow and ice (snow avalanches and glacial flow) under the influence of gravity are not usually considered to be mass wasting. But sometimes snow is involved in mass-wasting events.
