Grade 7 Natural Disasters Project People who live on mountains have learned to fear the "white death." In minutes, an entire town can be swallwed up with snow, with no chance of survival. Such is the power of an avalanche, perhaps the most sudden of all disasters. Unpredictable, they announce themselves with little more than a thunderous roar moments before onslaught, and can be triggered by a single skier. A chunk of ice the size of a school breaks loose from a glacier on a mountain. The falling ice block crashes into a snowy slope, launching a massive avalanche. A million tons of snow rumbles eight miles downhill, kicking up a cloud of snow dust seen a hundred miles away. This is not a scene from a disaster movie- this was reality on April 12, 1981. The mountain was Mount Sanford in Alaska, and the event was one of history's bigger avalanches. Amazingly no one was hurt, and luckily avalanches that big are rare. Avalanches are moving masses of snow that sometimes contain ice, soil, rocks, and even uprooted trees. Avalanches are most common on slopes exceeding 30 degrees, frequently when a deep snow falls suddenly and does not have a chance to cohere, or when a thaw undercuts a blanket of older snow. Pelletlike snow (graupnel) is also more prone to avalanche than a fall of ordinary snowflakes. Flows of wind-packed slabs of snow can be especially hazardous. Avalanches have been known to reach speeds of 200 miles an hour - almost five times faster than the fastest skier.

Landslide in Russia (North Ossetia) Type of Event: Landslide Location of Event: North Ossetia Date of Charter Activation: September 27, 2002 Charter Requestor: EMERCOM (Russian Civil Protection) via European Commission Civil Protection and Environment Unit Description of Event On Friday, September 20, an avalanche occurred on a mountainside in North Ossetia, a region affected earlier in June by floods. The avalanche was caused by a 150-meter-tall chunk of glacier that broke off and slid down the mountain. Moving at around 150 kilometers an hour, the avalanche slid 33 kilometers and stopped 10 kilometers from the town of Vladikavkaz. The path of destruction was nearly 300 meters to 400 meters wide. The avalanche buried the village of Karmadon and adjacent holidaying areas under a 50-kilometer layer of stones and ice. As of September 27, according to EMERCOM, 12 people had been found dead, 27 people had been rescued, and 99 people were still missing. Preliminary reports estimate the material damage caused by the disaster to be between 15 and 17 million US dollars.

Tajikistan State of the Environment Report - 2000 Natural disasters: State Mudflows are temporary sandy-stone flows, sometimes with mixture of snow and ice that running down through riverbeds or gorges and breaking all things on their way to move. As much as 84% of Tajikistan’s territory is subject to mudflow phenomena. Landslides Avalanches are snow-slipping masses with boulder mixture or without it, which are specific for high-mountain regions of Tajikistan with abundant precipitation. Most congenial conditions for avalanche formation remain in Zeravshan, Gissar, Darvaz and Upper Darvaz regions. Usually, avalanches are formed in those fields, where good conditions for snow accumulation. The areas of avalanche formation are various and quite often reach 2-3 km . Main factors of avalanche formation are snowfalls occurring due to encroachment of Arctic air masses for 3-7 days, cyclone activities as well as obvious temperature fluctuations, vibrations and sometimes earthquakes. Basically, most dangerous avalanche periods are those years when the average amount of precipitation in wintertime makes 600-700 mm in Zeravshan and Badahshan regions and 1000-1500 mm in Gissar, Upper Darvaz and Karategin regions. Earthquakes are specific for all territory of Tajikistan, thus the amplitude of possible earthquakes can reach 7-9 points of Richter scale. Most catastrophic earthquakes took place in 1911 and 1946, when hundred people were died and many households were destroyed. Earthquake’s epicenters exist everywhere, but they are mainly concentrated in northern, central and eastern parts of the republic. Some earthquakes carry serious danger, as they cover large territory and able to make significant destruction, including water dams, high and small buildings and communications. According to some, in XX century, because of earthquakes, from 70 to 100 thousand people have variously suffered in Tajikistan.
