The peak of the mountain is the American…

Definition Lahars also called mudflows contain fusion of water and consolidated particles of gravel, ice, wood, and other fragments that flow from volcanoes are distinct, prompt, and gravity-induced outflows of drenched, high-consolidation mixtures.(Vallance, 2000) Types Primary lahars These are generated amidst outbursts by numerous eruption-related activities. Such lahars wiped out almost 37,451 people all over the world between AD 1600 and 2010. The Nevado del Ruiz disaster in 1985 caused…
