One of the most dangerous volcanic hazards in the Cascades is lahars

Lahars are considered one of the most perilous volcanic hazards in the Cascades region. Lahars is an Indonesian word that describes the mudflow or debris field originating from the slopes of volcanoes. Lahar's debris fields may carry a slurry of pyroclastic materials such as rocks, mud, water, and other debris in the flow field. They happen when the ground becomes too soggy because of rain or snow melt, and the ensuing result is a landslide. Smaller debris fields are very common in the Cascade Mountain Range of Washington State, where they are formed when heavy rains and rapid snow melt cause shallow landslides.
