Avalanches

It depends on how steep the hill is. An avalanche does not make slabs down hill, it races continuously. It can also depend on if it is natural or man made. But there for there is no exact speed for every avalanche

It could kill you if your in/under it. There unpredictable, unless you have people that work in that area purposely cause one so its not a risk they will happen if you yell to loud. They can cover your car to and you'll have to roll down the window and pee yourself out.

1) prepare before you climb

2) keep your party spread out

3) if you know if there is an avalanche call out for danger

4) get rid of sky poles, snowboards etc.

5) Try making your way to the top of the mountain

6) clear space of your face just i case if you do get stuck in snow

7) last conserve air

Avalanches can impact the biosphere by causing destruction of vegetation and wildlife habitats in their path, leading to loss of biodiversity. Furthermore, avalanches can disrupt nutrient cycling and alter ecosystem dynamics in affected areas. However, avalanches can also have positive effects by creating new habitat patches and promoting ecological succession.

An avalanche is caused by the buildup and release of energy. Energy is released when the snowpack breaks apart and a slab of snow begins to slide downhill. The energy that drives an avalanche can come from a variety of sources including:

• Gravity Gravity is the force that causes an avalanche to move downhill. As the snowpack accumulates gravity pulls it downward building up energy until the snowpack breaks apart.
• Wind Wind can cause snow to accumulate in certain areas such as at the top of a mountain creating an unstable snowpack. Wind can also cause an avalanche by breaking apart an already unstable snowpack.
• Sunlight Sunlight can cause snow to melt creating a layer of water underneath the snowpack. This can weaken the snowpack making it more prone to avalanches.
• People People can trigger avalanches by skiing snowmobiling or walking in an area that is prone to avalanches. This is why it is important for people to be aware of the avalanche danger in their area.

Avalanches are a powerful and destructive force of nature and it is important to understand the sources of energy that can cause them. By understanding the sources of energy that cause avalanches we can better prepare for them and prevent them from occurring.

Avalanche is a mass of snow, ice, and rocks that rapidly falls down a mountainside. It can be triggered by various factors like heavy snowfall, changes in temperature, or human activity like skiing or snowboarding. Avalanches can be extremely dangerous and have the potential to cause injury or death.

It is difficult to provide an exact number as the frequency of avalanches can vary each winter. However, on average, there are several hundred avalanches that occur in the American Rockies during the winter season. These avalanches can range in size and impact.

There really is no way to prepare for an avalanche other than staying away from areas where they occur. One way to tell is to look at a slope on a mountain if you are below tree line and see if there are any trees. If you see an area covered in snow and devoid of trees, there is a good chance that an avalanche occurred there in the past, and may happen again in the future. Be very cautious in such areas if you are hiking through.

The effect is mostly destruction. Houses get destroyed, trees get crushed, and people can die. Avalanches usually happen because of loud hikers, or it just happens. They mosly follow a path downhill.

all it is, is a section of loose snow so when it is disturbed for example by a skiier or snowboarder rides over it moves rapidly down the mountin and wipes out any thing in it way hope tht helps :)

Abomasnow doesn't learn avalanche

The average cost of damage from an avalanche can vary significantly depending on factors such as the size of the avalanche, the location, and the infrastructure affected. Costs can range from thousands to millions of dollars in property damage, rescue operations, and economic impact.

Yes, loud noises such as explosives, thunder, or even the vibrations caused by heavy machinery, can trigger avalanches by disrupting the snowpack's stability. These disturbances can cause weak layers within the snow to collapse and start a chain reaction leading to an avalanche.

That depends on the type of avavlanche, if it's a controlled avalanche i.e. deliberately created - this will most likely happen in areas where there is a high population e.g. ski resorts. If it's a natural avalanche, you will most likely find these is glaciers, and backcountry mountain areas.

they have to build all the houses again and fix all the roads and trains. they also may have to give compensation for the injured. not as many tourists will visit if there is a big chance of avalanches, leaving less income.

not much actually happens to the physical EARTH when an avalanche occurs, but if you mean the environment, it can knock down trees, boulders, and other various movable objects in the vicinity. it, however, cannot move the actual things IN the earth such as a small hill or mountain.

a millisecond comes before a second

The most common and deadly type of avalanche is called a "slab avalanche," in which a cohesive plate of snow shatters like a pane of glass and slides as a unit off the mountainside, according to the Utah Avalanche Center.

The event is typically triggered not by loud noise, as is sometimes believed, but when snow accumulates very rapidly. The sudden addition of weight can fracture a weak area below. The condition is sometimes a lot like snow sliding in slabs off the windshield of a car as the temperature warms up.

A person's weight can trigger an avalanche, too. In fact, some 90 percent of avalanche accidents involving people were triggered by the victim or someone in the victim's party, according to the Avalanche Center.

A typical avalanche travels at about 80 mph in one dense slab. Rarely are they loose and fluffy.

Since 1950, about 235 people in the U.S. have been killed in slab avalanches, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Of course they are! the most dangerous TYPE of avalanche is the slab avalanche and happens most of the time. And only if you in one. ;)

But its probably not as dangerous as an earthquake.

The highest score recorded for Ragdoll Avalanche is 112.

Avalanches can be found in mountainous regions around the world, particularly in areas with steep slopes and heavy snowfall. Common locations for avalanches include the Rockies in North America, the Alps in Europe, the Himalayas in Asia, and the Andes in South America.

On average, avalanches kill around 11 people per year in Canada. These fatalities often occur in backcountry areas where snow and weather conditions can make avalanches more likely.

To predict an avalanche, scientists use a large cannon that can lock on to exact cordinants of avalanche paths and cause smaller avalanches before the big ones happen. They can also dig a pit and run various experiments. There is a video on the discovery site called our raging planet: Avalanches that will give you all this information and more.
