Snow avalanches behave the same as rock avalanches.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While both snow and rock avalanches involve the movement of debris down a slope, they have different characteristics and behaviors due to their different composition and the nature of the slope they are moving down. For example, a snow avalanche may have a lower density and be shaped differently than a rock avalanche, and may also have different triggers and factors that contribute to its development and movement.
