They usually occur in snow that has just fallen. ... Loose snow avalanches usually start at the point of the slope and widens as it travels downhill, using more snow. It resembles a teardrop, and large loose snow avalanches can result in slab avalanches. loja13615 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315298354 2018-12-17 18:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315298354 Avalanches are masses of snow, ice, and rocks that fall rapidly down a mountainside. meza13506 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315299605 2018-12-17 18:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315299605 loja13615 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315299889 effects]]> 2018-12-17 18:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315299889 During the afternoon of 25 April 2015, a MW 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal and surrounding countries. Shaking from the quake triggered an avalanche from Pumori into the basecamp on Mount Everest. roal13652 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315299898 2018-12-17 18:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315299898 Avalanches are most common during and in the 24 hours right after a storm that dumps 12 inches (30 centimeters) or more of fresh snow. The quick pileup overloads the underlying snowpack, which causes a weak layer beneath the slab to fracture. The layers are an archive of winter weather: Big dumps, drought, rain, a hard freeze, and more snow. How the layers bond often determines how easily one will weaken and cause a slide.Storminess, temperature, wind, slope steepness and orientation (the direction it faces), terrain, vegetation, and general snowpack conditions are all factors that influence whether and how a slope avalanches. Different combinations of these factors create low, moderate, considerable, and high avalanche hazards.What to Do in an AvalancheIf caught in an avalanche, try to get off the slab. In most instances, this is not easy. Skiers and snowboarders can head straight downhill to gather speed, then veer left or right out of the slide path. Snowmobilers can punch the throttle to power out of harm's way. No escape? Reach for a tree. No tree? Swim hard. The human body is three times denser than avalanche debris and will sink quickly. As the slide slows, clear air space to breathe. Then punch a hand skyward. meza13506 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315300445 2018-12-17 18:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315300445 meza13506 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315300762 2018-12-17 18:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315300762 instrument loja13615 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315302166 2018-12-17 18:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315302166 instrument forcast loja13615 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315302838 2018-12-17 18:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315302838 I Found The Effects of an Avalanche. meza13506 https://padlet.com/caga13578/r683hy8rieh7/wish/315303130 1. Damage to Life and Property: A large number of casualties takes place after avalanches hit heavily populated areas. Infrastructure is damaged and the blockage caused, impacts the livelihood of many. People who enjoy skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling are at a greater risk of losing their lives. A powerful avalanche can even destroy buildings and power supplies can be cut off.

2. Flash floods: When an avalanche occurs, it brings down all the debris with it and can cause havoc in low lying areas. Flash floods are seen to happen after avalanches, which is a long term problem many villagers and townspeople have to deal with. They can also change weather patterns and cause crop failure in farms present on the lower fields.

3. Economic Impact: An avalanche can block anything in its path and even restrict the normal movement of traffic. Various ski resorts depend on tourists to run their business successfully. Ski resorts and other businesses are forced to close until the avalanche decreases and weather conditions become suitable.
