Snow is frozen water, so it needs to be below freezing for it to form and generally for it to fall. In fact, rain often does start as snow (in cooler weather - not so much in the summer) because it is below freezing in the clouds, but it melts as it falls through warmer air closer to the ground.

Does gravity have effect on avalanches?

Yes to a degree, i mean what comes up must come down. But the main causes of avalanches is weather. You get times when the weather warms and melts the surface of the snow, then it freezes, then snow falls creating another layer of snow that is not bound to the first because there is a film of ice and therefore there is nothing for the snow to hold on to. This can happen many times, then eventually either the weight is too much or a loud noise separates the levels and down comes the snow.


What is it called when snow and ice come crashing Dow a slope?

When snow and ice come crashing down a slope, it's called an avalanche. Avalanches occur when a mass of snow, ice, and debris becomes unstable and rapidly descends down a mountain or hillside. They can be triggered by various factors, including weather changes, human activity, or the natural settling of snow. Avalanches pose significant risks to anyone in their path.
