Can a scream trigger avalanches?

In theory, yes, because of the vibration of the scream's sound waves. But in practice it is very difficult for this to happen. Avalanches occur when a layer of loose snow separates from the rest of the mountain's icy base. They arise as a result of mechanical turbulence, such as a tree falling or an animal passing through. In order for a _______ scream capable of causing an avalanche, this loose layer has to be very unstable. To date there is no evidence that this has ever happened.
