Answer:

A debris flow is the movement of a water-laden mass of loose mud, sand, soil, rock and debris down a slope. ... An earthflow is a flow of fine-grained material that typically develops at the lower end of a slope. Earthflows often ooze down a mountain at a pace of a slow-moving earthworm.

Have an awesome day! :D
