【单选题】 Avalanche and Its Safety
An avalanche is asudden and rapid flow of snow, often mixed with air and water, down amountainside. Avalanches are____1____ the biggest dangers in the mountains forboth life and property.
All avalanches arecaused by an over-burden of material, typically snowpack, that is too massiveand unstable for the slope____2____ supports it. Determining the critical load,the amount of over-burden which is____3____ cause an avalanche, ____4____acomplex task involving the evaluation of a number of factors.
Terrain slopes flatterthan25degrees or steeper than60degrees typically have a low ____5____ ofavalanche. Snow does not____6____ significantly on steep slopes; also, snowdoes not ____7____ easily on flat slopes. Human-triggered avalanches have thegreatest incidence when the snow’s angle of rest1 is____8____ 35 and45 degrees;the critical angle, the angle at which the human incidence of avalanches isgreatest, is38degrees. The rule of thumb2 is: A slope that is____9____ enoughto hold snow but steep enough to ski has the potential to generate anavalanche, regardless of the angle. Additionally3, avalanche risk increaseswith ____10____;that is, the more a slope is disturbed by skiers, die morelijkely it is that an avalanche will occur.
Due to the complexityof the subject, winter travelling in the backcountry4 is never 100% safe. Goodavalanche safety is a continuous____11____,, including route selection andexamination of the snowpack, weather____12____ and human factors. Severalwell-known good habits can also____13____ the risk. If local authorities issueavalanche risk reports, they should be considered and all warnings should bepaid ____14____ to. Never follow in the tracks of others without your ownevaluations; snow conditions are almost certain to have changed since they weremade. Observe the terrain and note obvious avalanche paths where plantsare____15____ or damaged. Avoid traveling below others who might trigger anavalanche.
