* Watery Clay Soil: Clay soil, especially when saturated with water, becomes very heavy and loses its structural integrity.
* Sliding Down a Mountain: The weight of the water-soaked clay, combined with the slope of the mountain, makes it prone to sliding downhill.
Mudslides are a serious natural hazard that can cause significant damage to property, infrastructure, and even loss of life. They often occur after heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or volcanic eruptions.
