Difference between Avalanche and Gravity current

Avalanche vs. Gravity current

An avalanche (also called a snowslide) is a cohesive slab of snow lying upon a weaker layer of snow in the snowpack that fractures and slides down a steep slope when triggered. In fluid dynamics, a gravity current is a primarily horizontal flow in a gravitational field that is driven by a density difference, hence gravity currents also sometimes being referred to as "density currents".

Similarities between Avalanche and Gravity current

Avalanche and Gravity current have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Fluid, Lahar, Pyroclastic flow.

Fluid

In physics, a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress.

Lahar

A lahar (from wlahar) is a violent type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris and water.

Pyroclastic flow

A pyroclastic flow (also known as a pyroclastic density current or a pyroclastic cloud) is a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter (collectively known as tephra) that moves away from a volcano reaching speeds of up to.
