Word origin

Borrowed from Javanese ꦭꦲꦂ (lahar). Introduced as geological term by Berend George Escher in 1922.

Used in a sentence

  • Such a highly destructive mud-flow (termed a lahar) eventually stops as a pile of debris of all shapes and sizes, as mixed up as a glacial moraine; the two deposits have often been confused.
  • A regime of persistent lahar activity results when eruptive activity continually supplies unconsolidated volcanic material for remobilization.
