•An avalanche is a rapid flow of snow down a slope, from either natural triggers or human activity. Typically occurring in mountainous terrain, an avalanche can mix air and water with the descending snow. Powerful avalanches have the capability to entrain ice, rocks, trees, and other material on the slope. Avalanches are primarily composed of flowing snow, and are distinct from mudslides, rock slides, and serac collapses on an icefall. In mountainous terrain avalanches are among the most serious objective hazards to life and property, with their destructive capability resulting from their potential to carry an enormous mass of snow rapidly over large distances.
•Avalanches are classified by their morphological characteristics, and are rated by either their destructive potential, or the mass of the downward flowing snow. Some of the morphological characteristics used to classify avalanches include the type of snow involved, the nature of the failure, the sliding surface, the propagation mechanism of the failure, the trigger of the avalanche, the slope angle, direction, and elevation. Avalanche size, mass, and destructive potential are rated on a logarithmic scale, typically made up of 4 to 7 categories, with the precise definition of the categories depending on the observation system or forecast region.
well an avalanche destroys the majority of the state and a volcano does a small amount of damage towards the forest.
there was one that caused 50.0 million $ worth of damage
A hurricane causes the most damage overall.
There are many causes of ozone damage. Some of them are UV, Greenhouse gases and CFC's.
An avalanche would be considered an example of a chain reaction. This is because as snow tumbles down, it causes other snow to fall and this keeps happening all the way down.

A lot. You can get buried by an avalanche.

What causes an avalanche?An avalanche occurs when the snowpack - or the layers of accumulated snow - on the side of a mountain is in some way disturbed, leading to a fracturing of the top layer and a downward torrent of a large mass of the white stuff.
Certain tremors or vibrations in the earth. *Causes, *Avalanche.
This is not related to tickets. An avalanche is a collapse of a large quantity of snow from a packed overhang to a lower area, typically from the top of a hill or mountain into a valley. An avalanche causes a huge fall of snow.

The explosive blast behind the shockwave causes the most damage.
