What is the geomorphic difference between mudflow and sheetflood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mudflow is a concentrated flow of thick mud while sheetflood is a thin sheet-like spread
The correct answer is A. A mudflow is a relatively concentrated, channelized or slope-confined flow containing abundant water and fine sediment, so it behaves like thick slurry. A sheetflood is shallow runoff spread across a broad surface rather than confined to one narrow channel. Both involve water, which makes options B, C, and D incorrect.
