What hapens during a avalanche?

Answer 1

In an avalanche a small amount of snow or mud on a mountain or hill starts moving downhill. As it moves, more snow or mud joins it. As it slides along, it starts knocking over items in its path and burying them. Sometimes those objects are humans. If it is snow and the people are not rescued soon enough, they die.

In California, a number of people do not like all the plants on the hill sides so they remove them. When a strong rain comes, it turns the hillside to mud. An avalanche comes. Mud covers the houses below. If it takes enough land away from the top of the hill, a house up there is likely to lose its foundation and start falling over the hill. While inclement weather in California provides the immediate cause of the avalanches of mud, people clearing land of trees and brushes is the real reason they happen.

Answer 2

During an avalanche, a mass of snow, ice, and rocks rapidly slides down a mountain slope. This can occur due to factors like heavy snowfall, unstable snowpack, or human activity. Avalanches can be extremely dangerous, causing destruction to anything in their path and posing a significant risk to people caught in them.
