Back Crepaza AN شق جليدي Arabic Ледавіковая трэшчына Byelorussian Esquerda (glacera) Catalan Ledovcová trhlina Czech Gletscherspalte German Glaĉerfendo Esperanto Crevasse Spanish Arraildura Basque یخکافت Persian
A crevasse is a deep crack that forms in a glacier or ice sheet. Crevasses form as a result of the movement and resulting stress associated with the shear stress generated when two semi-rigid pieces above a plastic substrate have different rates of movement. The resulting intensity of the shear stress causes a breakage along the faces.
