@worldweatheronline: 🌊🏔️ How the Nepal Disaster Was Triggered The catastrophic flooding in Nepal appears to have begun with a massive ice-and-rock avalanche or partial glacier collapse near the Nepal–China border. The debris rushed down the steep mountain valley, blocking the river and creating a temporary natural dam. As water built up behind the blockage, the barrier eventually failed. That sudden breach released a powerful surge of water, mud, rocks and debris downstream, triggering destructive flash floods that tore through villages, roads and infrastructure in the Rasuwa region. ⚠️ The exact sequence is still being investigated, but early reports point to a cascading mountain hazard rather than rainfall alone. #Nepal #Rasuwa #FlashFlood #GlacierCollapse #naturaldisaster
