Abstract
The content of this paper summarizes the principles of glacial processes and some aspects of mass movement in mountain regions such as the Alps. Especially avalanche formation and protective measures as practiced in Switzerland shall be discussed. The purpose of this report is to review some surficial geologic processes in high-relief terrain and see how they affect human developments and activities. It is thus, too, a practical exercise in environmental geology, particularly as it relates to land use planning. Furthermore, it is a library research paper required for graduation.
