But these dams are inherently unstable and avalanches, falling boulders, earthquakes, or even simply the accumulation of too much water can unleash sudden, potentially disastrous floods in nearby communities. GLOFs come up often for those of us who work on disaster and climate risk management in South Asia.

Answer:
The review shows that the main cause of GLOF is ice avalanche/ rock slide; this cause is attributed to over 70% of the reported GLOF events. Only a few (less than 30%) were due to glacier surge. For most of the GLOFs (more than 80%), the failure mechanism was overflow due to moraine dam failure.
