Mudslides
Nature
Mudslides happen when heavy rains or flooding saturate sloping ground and soil layers to the point where the top surface detaches from the lower firmaments and slides in an avalanche type movement.
Incidence
In Tegucigalpa, Honduras, entire neighbourhoods have been swept away by floodwaters and mudslides.
