what is avalanche and zener breakdown specifically?..

Answer / jaybee

avalanche breakdown usually refers to high voltages but zener breakdown is small voltages compared to avalanche. As we all know zener diode operates in reverse breakdown, but the reversed breakdown voltage of zener diode is relatively small around 5 volts due to special doping process where the junction is very thin compared to simple diode.
