in what states do avalanches happen?

when the accumulated snow give in due to the tremendous weight/pressure, added by movement that result to its own momentum and become avalanche.\n\nAn avalanche is a slide of a large snow (or rock) mass down a mountainside, caused when a buildup of snow is released down a slope, and is one of the major dangers faced in the mountains in winter. An avalanche is an example of a gravity current consisting of granular material.

What happens to what?  Different things happen in different places.  In Hawaii winters swells are up on the North shores, and it rains more.  In Colorado it snows.  But these are just weather items.  You could be referring to what happens to the sun, or cultural events.  So what are you asking?

Check the web for Pow-Wows (yes they are really called that) in your area.  They occur all over the U.S.

Any slope that's safe from avalanche.

Tornadoes form in storms all over the world, and though they have been recorded in all fifty U.S. states, they form most famously in a broad area of the American Great Plains, Midwest, as well as South known colloquially as Tornado Alley. In pure number of incidences, the United States reports more tornadoes than any other country, however, the Netherlands is the most tornado-prone country relative to land area.

That depends on where the incident occurs.

I hear that we are going to have an El Nino winter, which means in the states we will have a mild winter....hopefully this is true because I live in Michigan, and we get a lot of snow normally.  The flip side of this is ice storms, which can be worse than snow.

A localized storm- often happens with very strong thunderstorms.  Its raining and lightening here, but 5 miles away it is not, for example.  It may be even more localized than that - 1/2 mile away it isnt raining.

It's everywhere!  I suffered really bad in Yellowstone and Ireland.  Not as bad in Southern California but it's still here!

Alaska.\n\nFollowed by Texas and California.

Some flash floods possible for California right now.  Definitely expect some flooding this year in other places, coinciding with snow melt, possibly aggravated by rain.\n\nNova Scotia and other typical places along the USA-Canada border need to remain watchful.\n\nSome torrential rains expected this year in the USA.  Will be easier to predict where as the conditions develop.\n\nRivers over embankments, yes.\n\nPossible extreme heat conditons during the summer.  This also increases the likelihood of brown outs and power failures.\n\nI am expecting more trouble in the West than in the East this time around, but this is only a general feeling I have about the climatic conditions.\n\nThe only other remarkable expectation is for a very strong tornado season.  And these HAVE been occuring more easterly in recent years.\n\nI would not be surprised to see New York tornadoes.\n\nThere are suggestions for better housing at:\n\nhttp://360.yeahoo.com/ki_te_moana\n\nIf you are from California, how is the Russian River doing about now?

Yosemite National Park in the United States. They have major mountains to climb, but they also have small things. They have a wide variety of styles you can climb too. Obiviously lead climbing/top-roping, bouldering, crack climbing, and many others. Have fun! Good Luck, and stay safe!!

Alaska is a huge state, and the seasons are different in SE Alaska (Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, etc.) than they are in the interior or on the north slope.\n\nMy expertise is SE Alaska, where it tends to be rainy much of the year, and seasons are somewhat moderate, with some nice warm temps in the summer, and snowfall that turns to slush (see rain comment) in the winter.

Los Angeles and San Francisco would be the big ones but there are a lot of smaller ones in the same danger area. Basically anything that is on or near the San Andreas Fault. Check the map at the link--- actually explore the rest of the site, too--- good info there!

forest fire, usually started by lightning, is one especially during the dry seasons. on the rainy seasons, there is a threat of avalanche if the trees are not numerous enough to hold the massive downpour from eroding the soil on the steeper sides of the mountain. earth quakes may also cause avalanches in addition to massive downpours.

the gases build up that pushes the molten up, if there is snow causes hazardous and gaseous mud slide down the mountain.  Causes some tremors like earthquakes. Hazardous smoke (ash) cloud.  look up mount saint helens in Washington or the volcanoes in hawaii.  plus there are many throughout south america.  Pictures of mt. st. helens are awesome. I went there after it happened in 1980 it was phenomenal!  I felt the tremors up by bellingham. it was cool.
