* Mudslide: This is the most common and general term for a rapid flow of water-saturated soil and debris down a slope. It usually involves a mixture of clay, silt, sand, and rock fragments.
* Debris flow: This term is used when the flow contains a significant amount of larger debris, such as boulders and trees.
* Earthflow: This term is more specific to slow-moving slides of soil that typically occur on hillsides. They are often characterized by a curved or spoon-shaped failure surface.
* Solifluction: This term is used for slow, creeping movements of water-saturated soil on slopes in permafrost regions.
The specific term used would depend on the speed, volume, and composition of the flow.
