What was the last ice age like?
Icy & cold. the last ice age was horrific of course where the snow started to melt it caused avalanches killing animals that survieved maybe even wiping out the last of species. by laura2790
What road conditions did the Trail of Tears face?
They faced avalanches and icy roads.

How many people got killed in the Great snow of 1717?
The Great Snow of 1717, which affected parts of Europe, particularly in England and Switzerland, resulted in significant fatalities due to heavy snowfall and subsequent avalanches. Estimates suggest that around 800 to 1,000 people perished during this extreme weather event, with many deaths attributed to the harsh conditions, avalanches, and food shortages. The snow cover lasted for weeks, severely disrupting daily life and transportation.
The greatest sea invasion that caused to surrender?
Probably none. The Mongols invading Japan caused no surrender. D-Day caused no surrender. Okinawa nor Iwo Jima caused surrender. Gallopoli caused no surrender. The Normans landing in England caused no surrender.
How and why do avalanches occur?
Avalanches occurs when huge snow masses become loose and flow downhill. This is caused by many factors including temperature, vibration, sloppy angle and so much more.
What causes avalanches in the Alps?
it is caused when rapid temperature changes occur, a heavy snow fall, or strong winds. Skiers or snowboarders also set off avalanches because they will ski on the fresh loose snow and if the conditions are right the snow will crack beneath them. Loud noises do not set off avalanches. If you don't believe me look up "Avalanches 101" on YouTube.com or nationalgeographic.com
Does global warming cause avalanches?
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
Which avalanche triggered by the weather is recognised as being the 20th century's deadliest?
there are no avalanches caused by the weather in the 20th century but
Are lanslide's and avalanches caused by gravity?
Yes, landslides and avalanches are both caused by the force of gravity. Gravity pulls the materials down a slope, causing them to move rapidly and potentially result in a landslide or avalanche. Other factors such as weather conditions, slope angle, and the presence of loose material can also influence the occurrence and severity of these events.
What make avalanches stronger?
the way a avalanches stronger is the higher the mountain the bigger the avalanches
When was The Avalanches created?
The Avalanches was created in 1997.
Which natural disaster cannot be caused by shifts in tectonic plates?
Tornadoes. Tornadoes are caused by atmospheric conditions within thunderstorms and do not result from shifts in tectonic plates.
Which is deadlier in the United states-avalanches or earthquakes?
avalanches
Which is deadlier in the United States avalanches or earthquakes?
avalanches
What are the most unlikely human causes of avalanches?
Usually accidental avalanches are caused when people are mountain climbing or skiing, and they don't check the conditions of the mountain prior to when they are doing it, this often results in them starting an avalanche, simply by passing over some loose packed snow.
What seasons do avalanches mostly happen?
The avalanche danger increases with major snowstorms and periods of thaw. More than 80 percent of these occur during or just after large snowstorms. The most avalanche-prone months are, in order, February, March, and January. Avalanches caused by thaw occur most often in April.
