James Avalanche Project Jeopardy Template

Avalanche Safety	general information	types and parts of avalanche	equipement to bring	miscellaneous
100 what form of precipitation causes the snowpack to be more unstable? rain	100 what weakens the snow pack? temperature increases	100 what is the difference between a wet and a dry avalanche a dry avalanche has a white powder.	100 what is a probe? and what does it does? a probe is a tool that actually finds the person who is buried	100 what is the track? the area that the avalanche travel down
200 why shouldn't you go out of bounds? because there is a higher chance of getting buried	200 what is a point release? when it starts by releasing heat	200 what degree of slopes are ideal for avalanches? 30-45 degrees	200 what pieces of equipment is the most important incase there is an avalanche? transceiver, shovel, or helmet.	200 how long does avalanche safety training take for level one? 7 hours for level one.
300 how is avalanche prone snow identified? analyzing different layers of the snow pack	300 how fast can a wet avalanche go? up to 100 Km/h	300 how do you recognize the path that the avalanche goes down a slope angle from the start zone	300 name 3 pieces of equipment to bring air bag, helmet, shovel, transceiver, probe,	300 what do you check before you go skiing, snowboarding, etc. the CAC bulletins
400 which type of avalanche is more difficult to predict then point release? slab avalanches	400 what speed does a white powder form in a dry avalanche? 35 Kp/h	400 Name 2 parts of an avalanche start zone, run out, track area that the avalanche goes down	400 if someone is buried in a avalanche and you have a transceiver what mode do you use to find the person? search mode because their transceiver sends out a radio signal.	400 what you should check before you go to the mountains? the weather. if the snows stable enough.
500 how is elevation a factor in avalanches the higher you go up the more dangerous the avalanche gets. less trees to anchor snow	1000 how fast can does a dry avalanche goes in motion? up to 200 Kp/h	500 what is a slab avalanche? it occurs Occurs when a plate or slab of cohesive snow begins to slide as a unit before breaking up.	500 what is a transceiver a transceiver is a small electronic devices worn by all members of a team. When travelling, everyone sends out a radio signal.	500 how many fatalities are there per year by causes of avalanches around 14 fatalities per year.
