sneeuwlawine

dalende sneeuwmassa

AI overview

An avalanche is a rapid flow of snow down a slope such as a hill or mountain, which can be triggered by natural factors like heavy precipitation or snowpack weakening, or by external causes like humans, animals, and earthquakes. Large avalanches matter because they can capture and move not just snow and air, but also ice, rocks, and trees, making them potentially destructive events.

Een lawine is, doorgaans, een grote sneeuwmassa die van een helling omlaag komt. Het begrip "lawine" wordt ook gebruikt in verband met andere materialen die massaal naar beneden komen, bijvoorbeeld als "rots-" of "modderlawine". Een sneeuwlawine kan zo groot zijn dat hele dorpen door de sneeuw bedolven worden, maar ook een kleine lawine kan dodelijk zijn als men eronder geraakt.
