What are the different types of
Avalanches?
The
three types of avalanches:
1. A
dry snow avalanche consists of powdery snow and air that may
move faster than 100 MPH.
2. A wet snow avalanche is a mass of partially melted snow
that moves slower than a dry snow avalanche.
3. A slab avalalanche is when a portion of snow breaks
loose as a slab and splits into pieces as it slides.
