Such errors occur in a burst (called burst errors) because they occur in many consecutive bits. These errors may be due to physical damage such as a scratch on a disc or a stroke of lightning in case of wireless channels.

Data is send D : binary representation of D: 1100101 (101th number).
Data received G: binary representation of G: 1101000 (104th number).

So here multiple bits are changed thus it is called "Burst Error".

Burst error or error burst is a contiguous sequence of symbols, received over a data transmission channel, such that the first and last symbols are in error and there exists no contiguous subsequence of m correctly received symbols within the error burst. [1].
