Read the following:

Finally, there were the mudflows, which started when heat from the blast melted ice and snow on the mountaintop. The water mixed with ash, pumice, ground-up rock, and dirt and rocks of the avalanche. The result was a thick mixture that was like wet concrete, a mudflow. The mudflows traveled fast, scouring the landscape and sweeping down the slopes into river valleys. Together their speed and thickness did great damage.

• To show the chronological sequence of events where the mudflows started to travel down the mountain.

• To describe what happened to the mountain because of the mudflows.

• To show the cause and effect relationship between the mudflow and the damage.
