Mudflow

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to carry a tray stacked with different items through a crowded room, and someone bumps into you. Just as you struggle to keep everything balanced and prevent it from toppling over, a mudflow occurs when the stability of rock, soil, and water is disrupted, causing it to cascade downhill. In both cases, the disturbance—whether it's a physical bump or an environmental trigger like heavy rain—breaks the precarious balance, leading to a chaotic and uncontrollable flow, much like the way your items scatter when your tray tips over.
