Idisagree as well. The first comment is the correct one, they shouldn't be merged because even if similar, mud flows and lahars (for example) are essentially composed by thin particles (mud and silt), whereas débris flows carry cm size particles to big metric boulders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.223.103.42 (talk) 10:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree the debris flow and mud flow pages should be merged 89.242.83.115 (talk) 17:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I disagree. They are similar, but must be differntiated. If more than half of the material is usually sand silt and clay, is a mudflow. If it is less than half it is a debris flow (from "A Dynamic model for rainfall-induced landslides on natural slopes" By Chen and Lee.
