I WONDER - Where Do Avalanches Occur?

Avalanches are most common on mountain slopes but can occur on any snow-covered incline. They are likely on slopes with angles between 30 and 45 degrees, where snow can accumulate and become unstable. However, avalanches can also happen on gentler or steeper slopes depending on factors like snow conditions, terrain features such as vegetation and rocks, and weather patterns that influence snow stability.
