Avalanches and landslides are similar, as they are both a natural event, where snow/ice or mud freely slides down an inclined surface e.g. a mountain. Other than what is actually sliding, thereis almost no difference between the two.
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.
One cause of landslides and avalanches is heavy rainfall or melting snow, which can saturate the ground and destabilize slopes, leading to the movement of debris and rock downhill.
If there is an earthquake near a mountain, the shaking can trigger landslides, rockfalls, and avalanches on the mountain slopes. The earthquake can also cause the formation of cracks or fractures in the mountain, potentially leading to increased instability in the area.
Avalanches occur in the Alps, and because of rain during the spring and glacier melting, flooding occurs. Switzerland spends 2.5 billion dollars each year preventing floods by putting sensors in the lakes that measure changes of the water depth every minute. If sudden rises occur, then the citizens are warned beforehand. Overall, Switzerland is pretty safe.

Malaysia does not have avalanches, but they have landslides.

Glaciers and landslides are alike because overtime they will decay and fall over

Yes. Nepal is prone to earthquakes, landslides, and avalanches.
Volcanic activity and Earthquakes are two. And two more are Landslides and avalanches.
Earthquakes, landslides, floods, avalanches, volcanic eruptions and cyclones.

Avalanches and tornadoes are both violent natural events that can be very deadly and destructive and can occur suddenly. Aside from that, they are completely different.
They both can be dangerous and hurtful to people in many different ways.
