Mudflow
A mudflow or mud flow is a form of mass wasting involving "very rapid to extremely rapid surging flow" of debris that has become partially or fully liquified by the addition of significant amounts of water to the source material.
Mudflows contain a significant proportion of clay, which makes them more fluid than debris flows; thus, they are able to travel farther and across lower slope angles. Both types are generally mixtures of various kinds of materials of different sizes, which are typically sorted by size upon deposition.
Mudflows are often called mudslides, a term applied indiscriminately by the mass media to a variety of mass wasting events. Mudflows often start as slides, becoming flows as water is entrained along the flow path; such events are often called flow slides.
Other types of mudflows include lahars (involving fine-grained pyroclastic deposits on the flanks of stratovolcanoes) and jökulhlaups (outbursts from under glaciers or icecaps).
A statutory definition of "flood-related mudslide" appears in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, codified at 42 USC Sections 4001 and following. The NAS [National Academy of Sciences] has reported several studies of 'mudslides'.

Mudslide
by: Bob GeldofDog days fall
Without saying anything
Razzing round your head
Like unwanted flies
One day I`ll get it together
And buy one of those
Electric blue fly killer things
Mount it on the kitchen wall over there
And watch `em fry (wouldn`t you?)
Watch `em die (couldn`t you?)
Pass the time (shouldn`t you?)
And you did...didn`t you?
Baby, baby love falls away
Floats away
Melts into the April air
Summer`s coming
I caught it on the hill
Over-ripe already
Still unfilled (wouldn`t you?)
Unfulfilled (couldn`t you?)
Still unstilled (shouldn`t you?)
And didn`t you?
Here we all are
Sitting on a mudslide
Are you on my side
Or are you on the other side`s side
Here we all are
Standing in a minefield
How does your mind feel?
Standing in my field?
Hey Adrian, I`ve been dreaming
of deserts again
Crocodiles of weeping children
Pass as slow as the sky
Their eyes the only source of water
For two thousand miles
What does it all mean?
I wake up and I swat the night
But everything`s so dusty
So empty
So arid (wouldn`t you?)
So dry (couldn`t you?)
But you did, didn`t you?
