Avalanche. An avalanche, sometimes called a snowslide, is the rapid flow of snow, ice and/or rock down a slope or mountain. At its core, avalanche has championed horizontal scaling through.
They can be triggered by natural forces such as precipitation, earthquakes. The highest risk period is during and immediately after a snow storm. During an avalanche, a mass of snow, rock, ice, soil, and other material slides swiftly down a mountainside.
