These flows generally occur during periods of intense rainfall or rapid snow melt. They usually start on steep hillsides as shallow landslides that liquefy and accelerate to speeds that are typically about 10 miles per hour, but can exceed 35 miles per hour. The consistency of debris flows ranges from watery mud to thick, rocky mud that can carry large items such as boulders, trees, and cars.
Factors that make an area prone to landsliding include the following characteristics: Because landslides take a variety of forms and occur in a variety of setting, the key to predicting when they might occur or how they form and may evolve throught time.n many cases, heavy rains set off landslides. However, in many cases landslides may also occur in unpredictable was, such as the timing of a rockfall after a spring thaw. Sometime deep-seated slumps or mudflows will not move until days or weeks have passed after a storm.
