Snow avalanches can be compared to landslides. Loose-powder avalanches move like a flow and slab avalanches move like a slide.

<h3>What is Avalanches?</h3>

Avalanches can start spontaneously, as a result of causes like increasing precipitation or decreasing snowpack, or by outside forces like people, animals, and earthquakes. Large avalanches can catch and move ice, rocks, and trees. They are mostly made of rushing snow and air.

The two main types of avalanches are slab avalanches, which are built of tightly packed snow and are caused by the collapse of a weak snow layer beneath them, and loose snow avalanches, which are made of looser snow. Avalanches typically accelerate quickly after being triggered and increase in bulk and volume as more snow is gathered. A powder snow avalanche could emerge if an avalanche moves quickly enough to mix part of the snow with the air.

In what way does a transform boundary differ from the other boundary types?

Elanso [62]

Answer: in the other types of boundaries lithosphere plate is either created ie: (divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust is formed) while at convergent old oceanic crust is destroyed . But in the case of transform boundaries the plates slides past each other and lithosphere plate is neither created or destroyed . California San Andreas fault is a transform boundary.

storchak [24]

Answer is given below

Explanation:

Earthquakes became by movement in tectonic plate majorly at ring of fire that is the primary driver of earthquakes in Japan, where many earthquakes occur.
The fact that Japan is an island nation with a large coastline is also vulnerable to tsunamis and most of the Japanese population lives close to the coast due to the mountainous interior of the country.
A very notable damage was done in Sendai that is the big city that was the epicenter of the earthquake. An earthquake in Sendai destroyed homes and other buildings.
