With regional and historical analyses, we investigated the connection between avalanches and seismicity. In this work, the avalanches’ distribution in Central Italy (i.e., Abruzzo region) and its connection with moderate–high seismicity were investigated. In Italy, the Alps, and particularly the Apennines, feature large areas expected to be affected by seismically induced snow avalanches. The seismic trigger of an avalanche is either simultaneous or delayed. Seismically induced snow avalanches, due to a particular type of trigger perturbing snow-covered slopes, are occasional events in geodynamically active mountain regions around the world, which can lead to large anomalous avalanches. Snow avalanches are critical events due to the sudden instability of snow in mountain regions. d'Annunzio” Chieti‐Pescara, Pescara, Italy 1Department of Engineering and Geology, Università degli Studi “G. ![]() Tommaso Piacentini 1*, Monia Calista 1, Uberto Crescenti 1, Enrico Miccadei 1 and Nicola Sciarra 1
