ICE AVALANCHES Clause Samples

ICE AVALANCHES. Funk, Ice avalanches form when a large of ice breaks off from a glacier, drops down slope driven by gravity and bursts into smaller pieces of ice. In most cases, ice avalanches the normal process of mass wastage of high altitude, alpine glaciers on steep slopes, so called hanging glaciers. A typical feature of hanging glaciers is the absence of an ablation area where ice can melt and the by which ice mass is being removed is the release of chunks of ice (typically ) at the glacier front. Such events can happen at any time of the year and have often been observed in the Alps and in other high mountain regions of the world. The detachement of larger ice masses from a steep glacier is an extremely rare event and characteristically occurs during an active phase with enhanced sliding motion, which usually lasts for a few weeks during the season. The slip off of a large ice mass can also occur if the stability of a steep glacier reaches a critical state. The failure of one of the retaining forces can then to an ice fall. The typical mass is has sometimes the to impinge on settlements and other installations in high mountain areas. The effect of ice avalanches is comparable to that of snow avalanches, the main difference being that they occur time of The most destructive ice avalanches happen in winter when they or entrain additional snow masses. Such combined avalanches can cover run-out distances.
