Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
... accumulation and ablation don’t occur equally over the whole surface of the glacier. Ablation dominates the snout of the glacier, where the climate is warmer and iceberg calving can happen. Accumulation therefore dominates the upper part of the glacier, where temperature is low and precipitation is suitable for snowfall... So a glacier can be divided into two areas, an accumulation zone and an ablation zone. The line separating the two is called the equilibrium line... 6, record 1, English, - equilibrium%20line%20of%20glacier

La limite entre ces deux zones [accumulation et ablation] est dénommée ligne d'équilibre d'un glacier. Le bilan de masse annuel est nul (autant d'accumulation que de fonte). L'altitude de la ligne d'équilibre varie évidemment d'une année à l'autre (parfois de plusieurs centaines de mètres) notamment en fonction de deux paramètres climatiques : a) La quantité de chutes de neige totale tombée au cours de l'année, en particulier durant la saison hivernale, détermine l'accumulation. b) Les températures estivales régissent la fonte (ablation) durant la belle saison. 6, record 1, French, - ligne%20d%27%C3%A9quilibre%20glaciaire

Gullies and bowls are particularly efficient collectors of snow (especially on lee slopes where wind transport occurs) and the tops of these areas make up a large portion of the most active starting zones.

"Release zone" is sometimes used as a synonym for "start zone". However, a "start zone" could have more than one "release zone." "Release zone" is a general term for avalanche occurrence. It is usually used in the context of triggering mechanism (e.g. natural release and release by explosives). If one wishes to speak of the area where an avalanche initiates, "start zone" is the preferred term. 10, record 4, English, - start%20zone

zone d'accumulation : En décrivant un site avalancheux, certains auteurs emploient le terme «zone d'accumulation» pour désigner la zone géographique où les avalanches se déclenchent. Toutefois, le terme désigne aussi une zone où la neige soufflée par le vent s'accumule, lors d'épisodes neigeux ou non. D'où la nécessité de toujours préciser la zone, «zone d'accumulation dans la zone de départ et dans la zone d'arrêt». Au sens de «zone où les avalanches se déclenchent», de préférence, utiliser les syntagmes «zone de départ» ou «zone de départ d'avalanche». 6, record 4, French, - zone%20de%20d%C3%A9part

In particular strata profiles in proximity to the release zone and in correspondence to the major deposits along the gliding zone and the accumulation zone were carried out. Along the whole avalanche site a series of transverse sections were considered. In correspondence to these, values of the snow cover height were checked and analyses of stratigraphy of the snow cover able to single out snow masses which had been drifted by wind and deposited by the progressing avalanche. 1, record 10, English, - nivologic
