How terrible is the destructive power of avalanches?

An avalanche of high-speed movement will bring 40~50 tons of force to each square meter of the surface of the hit object. There is simply no object in the world that can withstand such an impact.

On April 12, 1981, a block of ice about the size of a house slid down the glacier at the top of Alberta's Three Buddha Volcano and landed on a nearby slope, causing millions of tons of snow to roll down and destroy all 13 kilometers along its path.

The impact of an avalanche is staggering. It sweeps away everything in sight with great speed and great power. Some avalanches produce powdery and devastating snow clouds that sweep everything away.

Yuan Ye thought of this, and the expression on his whole face changed from green to purple again, and then from purple to black, which was difficult to see.

If he is swept by an avalanche, I'm afraid that the impact is no less than him falling to the ground from a height of 3,000 meters, right?

Yuan Ye hurriedly turned around and followed the sound, looking for the location of the avalanche.

"Wild God, run!"

"Why are you still standing still?"

"Damn, isn't he scared silly?"

"Damn, these wild gods are falling."

"Oh my God, may God bless the wild gods!"

"May God bless the wild gods!"

"May God bless the wild gods!"

......

Was Yuan Ye scared silly?

Apparently not.

He was looking for the place where the avalanche had occurred, the area that had been enveloped.

The sound of an avalanche echoed between these mountains, and the sound was loud, but it was also possible that there was an avalanche in the mountains on the side, and it could not affect Yuan Ye.

If so, it is best, if not, Yuan Ye should see the coverage and area of the avalanche clearly, at least as quickly as possible, leave the coverage of the avalanche.

Because compared to the speed of the avalanche, it is impossible, it will chase you to the bottom of the mountain!

On the top of the mountain above his head, the snow layer broke, and white, layers of snow and snowboards rose in response to the sound - as if the mountain god suddenly launched an internal force to shake off a white robe on his body, and like a white snow dragon soaring through the clouds and mist, roaring down the mountain!

No way!

Yuan Ye's face darkened!

He was right in the center of the avalanche.

Or rather, it just so happened that the avalanche was coming at him.

If he is on the edge of an avalanche course, Yuan Ye can escape from danger by skiing.

"Could it be... When I landed from the sky, that impact caused an avalanche?! "

Yuan Ye wanted to die, and felt more and more that this avalanche was undoubtedly caused by him!

There are many reasons that can cause an avalanche.

If it is a natural cause, it may be that the snow on the slopes is too thick.

After the snow is exposed to sunlight, the surface snow melts, and the snow water seeps into the snow and the slope, so that the frictional force between the snow and the ground is reduced. At the same time, the snow layer begins to move downward under the action of gravity, forming an avalanche.

In addition, the snow cracking surface of the earthquake operation can also cause the snow to slide and cause avalanches.

However, the cause of avalanches may be simpler and more accessible.

Because there has always been a contest on the snowy mountains: gravity must pull the snow downward, and the cohesion of the snow wants to keep the snow in place.

When this contest reaches the zero point, even the slightest external force, such as the running of animals, falling stones, wind, slight shaking, or even shouting in the valley, as long as the pressure exceeds the cohesive force that condenses the snow particles into clumps, is enough to trigger a catastrophic avalanche.

Skiing, hiking, or other winter sports enthusiasts often inadvertently become the trigger for avalanches.

At this moment, the unlucky Yuan Ye, in order to be cool, parachuted to the top of the mountain in the form of high-altitude surfing and skied at a reduced speed, which caused an avalanche.

The avalanche rolling down is simply more terrifying than a big wave.

The white snow waves swept down and crushed everything!

"! What a pit now! "

Yuan Ye couldn't think of a better way for a while, turned around and "drove" the skateboard, and rushed down the rock without looking back.

If there's no better way, you can find a larger rock and hide behind it, but that doesn't mean you can have no worries.

It would be best if you hid behind the rocks, if the rocks were not swept away by the avalanche, but the problem was that they were buried under the massive snowfall.

As long as it is buried by heavy snow, the chances of survival are very small, and it only takes 30 minutes to die in an avalanche.

Yuan Ye chose to race against the avalanche, although it felt more dangerous and crazy, but Yuan Ye became excited.

Rumble!

The waves of snow rolled down, like a pure white torrent, pouring thousands of miles from the top of the mountain, drowning everything.

On the surface, white snowflake particles tumbled, like a large white mist.

However, God knows how terrifying this "white fog" is!

Few people know that in fact, in an avalanche, what is more terrible than the avalanche itself is the air wave in front of the avalanche!

Because avalanches move downward with great potential energy from a height, such as falling or sliding down from a height of 6,000 meters, they will cause violent oscillations in the air, so they have extremely fast speeds and even form a layer of air waves.

This air wave is somewhat similar to the shock wave generated when the original bomb explodes!

(Note: Not as strong as the original bomb blast wave!) )

The snow stream drives away the waves of air in front of it, and the impact of this wave is more dangerous than the blow of the snow flow itself, destroying houses, disappearing trees, and suffocating people wherever it goes.

Therefore, sometimes the avalanche itself has not arrived, and the air waves have rushed all the obstacles in the way.

In the 1970 Peruvian avalanche, the avalanche body flew 14.5 kilometers in less than 3 minutes, and the speed was close to 90 m/s, which is much faster than the 32.5 m/s that a Category 12 typhoon is good at.

The air wave caused by the avalanche swept the debris of the rocks on the ground into the sky, and it actually rained down with a "stone rain".

The "white fog" of the "chaos", especially the terrible air waves caused by the avalanche, is the tangible embodiment of the snowflake particles.

Therefore, when judging an avalanche, it is necessary to count not only the snow wave at the front, but also the churning white fog shrouded in front.

Brush! Brush! Brush!

Phew-

Thundered......

Yuan Ye was simply extraordinary, and all kinds of rocks exposed outside the snow layer were quickly avoided by him, with the shortest "zigzag" path and the fastest speed, to avoid the pursuit of the avalanche.

The avalanche is also getting faster and faster, chasing after it.

Brush!

Yuan Ye flew onto a snow-covered rock, flew in the air, and then landed heavily on the snow, continuing to move forward.

His speed was fast, and his orange-red figure, almost like a red lightning bolt on the white snow, twisted, from the top of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain.

Coniferous forests began to appear on the mountainside, and Yuan Ye crossed the permanent snow line, that is, a survival biography appeared.

But if you look at this sparse coniferous forest, you can see that there have been avalanches here, and most of the trees have been bulldozed.

Rumble!

This time, the avalanche returned, and the last coniferous forest was difficult to preserve, so it was swept up by the snow and rolled down together.

"Come on, anchor!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up! "

"It's so exciting!"

"It's even better than the movies."

Although the audience in the live broadcast room is worried about Yuan Ye, the combination of avalanche + down-speed skiing is really exciting!

All the audience held their breath and subconsciously clenched their fists, and they didn't dare to hear.

While silently praying for Yuan Ye in their hearts, their eyes were glued to the screen.

The green in front of him gradually increased, and Yuan Ye had already rushed to the foot of the mountain.

As long as you grit your teeth and persevere, cross the foot of the mountain, and reach a more gentle terrain, the avalanche will end, and at that time Yuan Ye will be able to survive, and at the same time become...

Rumble!

Suddenly, Yuan Ye's back seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and the whole person flew high.

Thundered......

In an instant, the avalanche flooded by, and Yuan Ye's orange-red figure also drowned.
