An informative text that explains when avalanches happen (January-March), why (snow accumulation on mountainsides during cold seasons), and how they can be prevented (protecting trees to stabilize slopes and breaking up snow using explosives). Also included are case studies of some notable avalanches in Peru, France, and Alaska. This book contains a glossary, index, and further reading section. An excellent resource for school assignments for 3rd grade and up.
