An avalanche is like a rockslide but on a snow-covered mountain. It is a rapid flow of snow down a slope, often triggered by factors like temperature changes, snowpack instability, or human activity. Avalanches can be dangerous and destructive to both people and property.

Which is correct covered by snow or covered with snow?

That's a really difficult a question. In British English either is equally correct though they can have subtle differenced in meaning which I am finding difficulty explaining. Of course you have the third variant which is "Covered 'in' snow".I'm sure that somebody else can describe it in technical terms. But my understanding as a natural English speaker is....Covered 'by' snow kind of infers that this action has recently occurred.e.g. The parked car was covered by snow.Covered 'with' snow kind of infers that the object has not recently been covered.e.g. The parked car was covered with snow.Covered 'in' snow is kind of descriptive.e.g. The parked car was covered in snow.You know what I don't think it matters, choose one and use it,


What is blanket of snow?

It means that the street is completely covered by a solid sheet (or metaphorical blanket) or snow. Someone looking at it would only see snow, and not the street.


When warm and moist winds blow over snow-covered ground what is most likely to result?

When warm and moist winds blow over snow-covered ground, the snow is likely to melt and turn into water. This may result in increased runoff and potential flooding, as well as causing the snow to become slushy and compacted.


Would snow covered soil or a beach covered in black sand heat up faster?

The snow-covered soil would likely heat up faster than a beach covered in black sand. This is because snow has a higher albedo (reflectivity) than black sand, which means it reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat. In contrast, black sand absorbs more sunlight and retains heat, making it slower to warm up.


Which term describes the lowest elavation in a particular area that remains covered in snow all year?
