MEANINGOF
AVALANCHE
 An avalanche is a large amount of snow
that slides rapidly down a mountain.
 It could be snow or landslide.
 Usually at inclinations of 30 to 45 degrees.
 Usually falls with speed.
CAUSES
1. Lack of homogeneity between snow layers.
2. Excessive weight, when the amount of snow
exceeds what a surface can support.
3. Rain, which penetrates a recent snow layer,
causing it to slide due to the weight of the water.
4. Changes in ambient temperature that can affect
the cohesion of the snow.
5. Soil conditions, especially when the terrain is
conducive to material sliding on its surface.
TYPES  Avalanche from a point: when the temperature is low
and snow is still falling
 Avalanche from a slope: is more serious as it involves a
larger surface area of release
 Deep dry snow avalanche from a slope: is one
of the most severe include not only large amounts of snow but
also parts of hard ground and vegetation
 Wet snow avalanche from a point: These are
typically small avalanches that occur when temperatures begin to
rise
 Deep wet snow avalanche from a slope:
massive amount of snow falls due to heavy rain or a warm winter
day
What to do
in case of a
snow
avalanche
 Try to escape the danger area
 Activate an avalanche victim locator (DVA)
 Try to stay calm
 Hold onto a solid object
 Swim in the direction of flow
 Make noise
 Try to create an air pocket
 Conserve energy and oxygen
 Wait for rescue
How to
prevent a
snow
avalanche
 Know the terrain and conditions
 Assess snow stability
 Use appropriate equipment
 Travel in groups and communicate your itinerary
 Maintain distance and avoid steep slopes
 Avoid sudden changes in snow loading
OTHERS
DATA
The magnitude of snow avalanches can be determined based
on three factors:
 the starting zone
 type of snow
 position of the sliding plane
Frequent places where avalanches occur
 Alps
 Andes
 Himalayas
 Alaska
Timing
 Avalanches are most common during and within 24 hours
following storms that deposit 30 centimeters or more of fresh
snow
