The transport of snow by wind is a primary factor in avalanche formation. Evidence of recent wind transport can often be observed by the existence of formations like sastrugi, from a firm, textured snow surface, or from visible accumulations of wind transported snow. These visible surface features are referred to both independently and collectively as wind effect. 2, record 1, English, - wind%20effect

Le transport de la neige par le vent est un des facteurs principaux dans la formation d’une avalanche. On peut souvent déduire qu'un récent transport de neige par le vent a eu lieu lorsqu'on voit des formations telles des sastrugi – surface de neige ferme et texturée – ou des accumulations visibles de neige transportée par le vent. Ces caractéristiques de surface visibles sont appelées, individuellement et collectivement, action du vent. 2, record 1, French, - action%20du%20vent
