it consist of mud or rock and mainly snow

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.
Avalanches can reach high speeds due to factors such as steep slope angles, large amounts of accumulated snow, and the presence of a weak layer in the snowpack. When the stress acting on the snow overcomes the strength of the weak layer, the snow mass can rapidly release and accelerate downhill, leading to high-speed avalanches.
Avalanches are deadly because they can move at high speeds, overwhelming anything in their path. They can contain large amounts of snow, ice, and debris, causing significant trauma and injuries to anyone caught in them. Additionally, avalanches can bury victims under large amounts of snow, making it difficult for rescuers to locate and dig them out in time.
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.

Yes, avalanches are a natural occurrence and have always occurred where ever there has been snow on a slope.
a snow lab is a thing which pridicts avalanches.

Because the a slab of snow starts moving down a snow slope.
avalanches can be prevented by removing the potential energy stored in the snow by blasting it with dyno-mite
The molecular makeup of snow is quite unique, in that it's a maleable solid. Chemistry behind avalanches, could involve what temperature snow needs to be to melt - and cause an avalanche. thanks
When a sound is too high it echos and makes the snow move by vibrations causing what we call avalanches

Yes they can cause avalanches if they are high up in a mountain were there is snow, rocks, or loss soil.
Wet snow avalanches fall on slopes mainly above 60 deegres.
