Lahars 2


Lahars 2 :

A lahar is simply an avalanche of debris flow with more than 25 % volcanic material - the rest being mud and water. They occur as a result of volcanic activity, and typically in cold climates where ice cover provides the water component of the flow. These debris flows can reach relatively high speeds and have the ability to wash away towns and villages in their path. (See article: "Volcanoes")
