I know nothing about the Dry Zone solid.

However, the difference in general is that pearls go longer and turn harder late. Solids tend to react earlier on the lane and be more smooth at the break point.

Im pretty sure the Dry Zone has Activator coverstock. Hard to imagine it being weak.

From Brunswick's Dry Zone web page:

We start by using a newly redesigned Light Bulb Core shape with a medium RG rating and then encase the core with Activator - 5 coverstock. This combination of a low flare potential core system and Brunswick's most forgiving low friction coverstock will make the Dry Zone Solid the ball of choice for many bowlers who encounter high hooking lane conditions and short oil patterns.

From BowlingBall.com:
Brunswick Dry Zone Solid - Overseas Release - bowlingball.com Exclusive $119.99
Avalanche Pearl: $78.99

Other than performance, there's a $40 difference in price on the internet.

Some Dry Zones (pearl and solid) are around here. The pearl goes very long and is a smooth piece, but definitely stronger than the AvP, due to the Activator cover.

The DZS is a different thing. While it is called "Dry", it is much more of a control piece, a little like MoRich's Solid LevRG. Take a solid reactive cover that handles a good amount of oil, add a sheen finish and a low flare core, and you have a very good piece for spotty lanes on medium-dry to medium-oily conditions. Great choice if you are a down-and-in player or rev-challenged. But definitively no true dry lane ball... IMO, the DZS is even stronger than the AvS, in every aspect.
