What are the conditions in nature that causes an avalanche?

What causes an avalanche?An avalanche occurs when the snowpack - or the layers of accumulated snow - on the side of a mountain is in some way disturbed, leading to a fracturing of the top layer and a downward torrent of a large mass of the white stuff.

What causes an avalanche to occur?

An avalanche occurs when a mass of snow on a slope becomes unstable and slides downhill. This can happen due to factors like steep terrain, heavy snowfall, or a disturbance like a loud noise or a skier.


What are anode and cathode streamers?

Since streamers are formed b/c of avalanche present in the gap. If the gap is small the transformation occurs only when the avalanche reach the anode and is called Cathode Streamer. If the discharge gap is quite large, over-voltages are large and hence the avalanche transfers from anode to cathode called Anode Streamer.


What is Avalanche breakdown?

Avalanche breakdown is a phenomenon that can occur in both insulating and semiconducting materials. It is a form of electric current multiplication that can allow very large currents to flow within materials which are otherwise good insulators. It is a type of electron avalanche. The Avalanche process occurs when the carriers in the transition region are accelerated by the electric field to energies sufficient to free e- h pairs via collisions with bond electrons.


Is an avalanche a weather phenomenon?

No, it's a geological phenomenon. Weather can cause avalanches to happen, though, like if flood waters cause the heavy erosion of a cliff. There could be an avalanche as a result of that, but the avalanche isn't weather.
