The lee slope is not actually an aspect of an avalanche itself, but it can be a cause if an avalanche.
It is the sheltered side of a peak or slope that is not exposed to wind and sunlight. If snow accumulates here, daily freezing and thawing from contact with sunlight, as well as the action of wind that normally would blow loose snow away, will not have as great of affect in moving loose snow and keeping the snow packed with layers of ice. This snow could avalanche easily.

What is it called when snow ad ice come crashing down a slope?
Avalanche.
Where does the force of a avalanche come from?
The force of an avalanche primarily comes from gravity pulling the snow downhill. Factors like the steepness of the slope, the amount of snow, and the presence of weak layers within the snowpack can also contribute to the force of an avalanche.

How do you predict a possible avalanche and what to do if caught in one?
Usually an avalanche occurs after fresh snow on a steep slope. and as for what to do in one, sorry i dont have info on that -Trevor

Where can you find avalanche in Megaman starforce 2?
he is in grizzly peak, by the second slope area. If you find cancer bubble and keep looking around that area you will find avalanche.
Where does the force of a avalanche come from?
The force of an avalanche primarily comes from gravity pulling the snow downhill. Factors like the steepness of the slope, the amount of snow, and the presence of weak layers within the snowpack can also contribute to the force of an avalanche.
What is the fastest avalanche?
The fastest avalanche on record occurred in 2003 on Mount Steller in Alaska, reaching speeds of about 186 miles per hour (300 km/h). This type of avalanche is known as a powder avalanche, which is the fastest and most destructive type of avalanche.
What is the key force in pulling an avalanche downhill?
Gravity is the key force pulling an avalanche downhill. As snow accumulates on a slope, it can reach a critical point where the force of gravity overcomes the friction between layers of snow, causing the avalanche to slide downhill.
