-A mudslide or [[mudflow]] occurs when rocks, sand and earth fall down from the side of hills due to rain or snow. In Japan mountains account for over two thirds of the land, and therefore there is a risk of mudslides.<ref>1. Japan Institute of Country-ology and Engineering.(2007). Quiz about geography of Japan.

-== Facts ==
-=== Mount Ontake ===
-In 1984 September 14 Otaki earthquake hit Nagano prefecture,Japan. The magnitude was 6.8.It caused a major mudslide south side of Mt.Ontake. Its speed was 80~100&nbsp;km/h.<ref>Naganoken Seibu Jishin (The earthquake which hit Nagano prefecture).Matsuhiro Seismological Observatory.Retrieved:www.jma-net.go.jp/matsushiro/learning/seibu.html [July/20,2014]</ref>  Besides the earthquake, the heavy rain that had continued for several days before the earthquake was another factor of the mudslide. The slide is called “Ontake Kuzure.”  It took the lives of 29 people. After the disaster, the barriers against mudslide were made in nine places at the hill　foot of Mt. Ontake.<ref>Naganoken Seibu Jishin (The earthquake which hit Nagano prefecture).Sabo Gakkaishi Vol.48, no.4, pp. 66-68.

-=== Wakayama, Nara ===
-In 2011 September, typhoon No.12 hit Japan. Because of it, it rained very heavily in the Kii Peninsula.There are many mountains in the Kii Peninsula, and usually it rains heavily there. Typhoon 12 occurred on August 25. Typhoon 12 moved very slowly on the sea. The speed was 15&nbsp;km/h at most. So, the south wet air stayed in one area for a long time. Then it kept raining at the slope of mountains. Therefore, in Wakayama and Nara, the mudslide occurred. This mudslide is called “Sinsohokai”. If Sinsohokai occurs, very deep ground on mountains is carried away. It means that not only soil but also bedrock in the ground collapses. One of reasons why Sinsohokai occurred is that it rained for a long time, and the ground soaked up much water. In this case, houses were covered with earth and sand from the mudslide. So, the residents suffered heavy damage, and many people died <ref>taihu12go 24ninsibo 54ninhume kihanto doshakuzure hanran(Typhoon 12, 24 people died, 54 people lost Kii Peninsula mudslide flooding).
