They are alike because they are both on mountains or cliffs and are coming down in a very large amount and a forceful motion. they are different because an avalanche is a large mass of snow, ice, etc., detached from a mountain slope and sliding or falling suddenly downward while a landslide is the sliding of a large mass of rock material, soil, etc, down the side of a mountain or cliff.

What is an underwater avalanche is called?
An underwater avalanche is called a turbidity current. It is a fast-moving current of sediment and water that flows down a slope on the ocean floor, resembling an avalanche in terrestrial environments. Turbidity currents can be triggered by factors such as earthquakes, underwater landslides, or excess sediment supply.
How are a landslide and an avalanche different?
landslide is a part of a land and avalanche is a area where it can be land and flied
Which erosional force acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides?
Gravity acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides. When the force of gravity exceeds the strength of the material holding it in place on a slope, the material will move downhill in the form of an avalanche or landslide.
How does landslides change the earth?
Landslides can make new lands after they occur. Because it looks different than before it occurred. landslides can change water sources too.
