【 摘 要 】

The Himalayas, the longest chainof mountains in the world, experiences extensive snowfall and avalancheactivity during winter. Some of these areas are densely populated, anddeath and destruction on large scale due to avalanche activity has beenreported in these areas. One of the ways of reducing the loss of lifeand material due to avalanches is through prediction of avalanches. Anunderstanding of weather forecasting, terrain, and avalanche initiationmechanism is a prerequisite for avalanche prediction. In the presentpaper mathematical modelling of avalanche initiation mechanism has beendiscussed.
