What to do after it?•Swim hard•Wait for a rescue

• What we know about our Natural Disaster is that it is made of layers of snow. Snow moves as a formless mass and It goes down the mountain. It is difficult to escape from it. When it happens, the only thing you can do is to go downhill and go to the right and to the left. Then you have to wait for someone to rescue you. If the big snow ball gets you... try to swim!!!! It normally takes place during a storm or 24 hours after it.

• Our natural disaster is an Avalanche.

a sudden shaking movement of the ground

a large amount of snow and ice that suddenly falls down a mountain

a continuous period of very hot weather, especially when this is unusual

a large amount of water that covers an area that was dry before

a mountain that forces hot gas, rocks, ash, and lava (=melted rock) into the air through a hole at the top. Some volcanoes are not immediately dangerous because they are not active and have become dormant. Others will never be dangerous again because they are completely extinct
