To turn a rock slide into a rock avalanche, several factors must come into play. First, the slope must be steep enough to allow for rapid movement, typically over 30 degrees. Additionally, the presence of water can increase the instability of the rock mass, reducing friction and enabling faster flow. Finally, a sudden trigger, such as an earthquake or heavy rainfall, can initiate the transition from a rock slide to a more dynamic and destructive rock avalanche.
