What are the different avalanches?
There are lot of types of avalanches but two of them are loose-snow avalanche which gathers more and more snow as it descends a mountain. Another type is slab avalanche which is the deadliest and destroys everything on its way; most responsible for the great majority of accidents. There are also powder avalanches and wet snow avalanches
How does sugar snow causes avalanches?
rotting out snow packs bottom
What are the qualifications for loose snow avalanche?
Loose snow avalanche and slab avalanche are the two basic types of avalanches. The type of avalanches that we generally see picturized in cartoon shows - starting from a single point and expanding during descent is loose snow avalanche. These avalanches do not generally cause much harm, as they are minor in nature.
When do you get avalanches?
Avalanches are most likely to occur in the alpine regions of France, Switzerland and Austria. However avalanches can occur on any steep slope, considering the factors. Within the U.S, Alaska, Colorado and Utah are the states that avalanches occur most often.
Why do you get avalanches?
