Climbers of the Himalayas, Andes, Alaskan Ranges and even the Alps must always be on the look-out for dangerous snow slope conditions. For this reason the Alpine countries particularly have, since last c

Hazards from Landslides,ension, causing only minor inconvenience, to rare gigantic slides or avalanches, kilometers in size, affecting sizeable populations. Because similar soil, rock or snow properties play a part in each process at all scales, they will be described together in this chapter, with the main reference to slides.
