Avalanche!

Today,November 20th 2009, we read about avalanches. What I learned was that a man named Ed Adams is studying avalanches with computers. What he studied was a avalanche can start with the slope being steeper than 25 degrees! When the snow slides it can speed up to 60-80 mph. Plus, it can weigh up to 100,000 tons!

Ed studies the weight, speed, temperature, & angle of an avalanche. They place sensors on the outside of their cabin to test the avalanches. You don't want to be caught in one!

I think Ed Adams is trying to explain to snowboarders & skiers that it's dangerous & risky to be on mountains with snow. I heard before that a dog sniffed out two people underneath a avalanche!

It's dangerous to hang out on snow mountains! So, be cautious!
