write a paragraph of about 100 words about the mudslide

A mudslide is a natural disaster that occurs when a large amount of mud, debris, and other materials move swiftly down a hillside or mountain. It can be caused by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or human activities such as deforestation. When the soil becomes saturated with water, it loses its cohesion and starts to flow like a river, carrying anything in its path. Mudslides can cause extensive damage to homes, roads and infrastructure leaving destruction and fatalities in their wake. These disasters often occur without warning, making it difficult for people to evacuate in time. To avoid mudslide-related disasters, individuals, communities and governments need to take measures such as land use planning, construction of retaining walls, and vegetation management to prevent soil erosion.
