    An avalanche is a mass of snow, ice, and rocks falling quickly down a mountainside. Three key factors that contribute to avalanches are the amount of snowfall, the gradient of the slope, and the climate. Avalanches form when new snowfall accumulates and the added weight causes a slab of snow to collapse and slide down the mountain rapidly.
