Avalanche

Avalanche is a rapid movement of snow down a slope triggered either naturally or by human activity. This occurs typically in mountain terrain. Avalanches are divided into four classes:
1. Dry powder avalanches
2. Wet new snow avalanches
3. Snow slabs or Wind slabs and
4. Wet old snow avalanches.
