| dc.description.abstract | ▪ Avalanches are phenomena very similar to landslides: analogies exist between soil grains and snow grains, soil layers and snow layers, failure modes, the effect of compaction and mode of deposit. | en_GB |
| dc.description.abstract | ▪ It is possible to identify two main types of avalanches (Givry & Perfettini, 2004) depending on the snow state: dry snow or powder avalanche and wet snow avalanche (Fig. 1). The difference between these two kinds of phenomena defines their mode of failure, their way of displacement down the slope and their relative power. | en_GB |
