• A debris avalanche is a type of slide characterized by the chaotic movement of rocks soil and debris mixed with water or ice (or both).

Debris avalanches differ from debris slides because their movement is much more rapid. This is usually a result of lower cohesion or higher water content and commonly steeper slopes.
