Loose snow avalanche

Loose snow avalanches form when large masses of snow fall down a steep slope, picking up more and more snow.
It always starts out as a point and her forehead gets higher all the time.
At the beginning she still has a speed of 100 km/h, but this can increase to a speed of up to 300 km/h.
The snow that the avalanche throws up creates a mixture of snow and air.
If inhaled by a human or animal, it will cause death by asphyxiation in a short time.
The enormous fluctuations in air pressure that accompany loose snow avalanches and can be deadly must also be taken into account.
These pressure fluctuations can also cause great damage and destruction. The extent of their destruction is comparable to that of hurricanes.
Windows and doors are smashed in and snow gets into the houses, roofs are simply swept away and trees are snapped off and torn out.
It is one of the most common types of avalanches and can be triggered by shouting loudly.
