My friend and I are doing a project on hazards, and the hazard we chose was 
avalanches. We are studying the avalanche that took place in Yungay, Peru in 
1970. We already know that Mount Huascaran is the mount that stands right over 
Yungay. So what would you say is the probability of the mountain having another 
avalanche, and do you know when. Get back to me as soon as possible please.
