👉 The Cliff Fluid, also known as the Cliff Mudflow or Cliff Slide, is a type of debris flow that occurs primarily in arid and semi-arid regions with steep slopes. It is characterized by a mixture of water, sediment (such as sand, gravel, and boulders), and sometimes organic material, which moves rapidly downslope under the influence of gravity. This fluid-like behavior is due to the water content, which acts as a binding agent, allowing the mixture to flow like a viscous liquid. Cliff Fluids are often triggered by heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or other forms of intense precipitation that saturate the ground and destabilize the slope. These events can lead to catastrophic landslides, posing significant hazards to infrastructure and human settlements in affected areas.
