жер ағымы

A form of mass movement, where water-saturated, weak-slope material flows under the action of gravity at speeds between 10 cm s-1 to 10 cm day-1. Earth flows differ from mud flows in that the latter are composed mainly of clay-sized particles. They are common at the foot of landslides, where water content is high.
