[75] [76] In response, YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim posted the question "why the fuck do I need a google+ account to comment on a video?" on his YouTube channel to express his negative opinion of the change. [77] The official YouTube announcement [78] received 20,097 "thumbs down" votes and generated more than 32,000 comments in two days. [79]
Transverse crevasses, Chugach State Park, Alaska 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.
Crevasse rescue (or crevasse-extraction) is a set of techniques in mountaineering where climbers use their equipment to pull a climber, who has just fallen into a crevasse, to safety. [1] Crevasse rescue is considered a core skill set in alpine climbing, but difficult to do efficiently. [1] [2] It is typically encountered by rope teams on ...
A bergschrund is distinct from a randkluft (also called rimaye), which is a crevasse with one side formed by rock. The randkluft arises in part from the melting of the ice due to the presence of the warmer rock face. [2] However, a randkluft is sometimes called a bergschrund. [3] The French word rimaye encompasses both randklufts and bergschrunds.
YouTube releasing experimental features as well to subscribers was a benefit to Nield, which as of writing included the rollout of pinch to zoom in videos. [41] Ashley Maready of The Motley Fool concurred with Nield in her review, while additionally noting that the benefits also extend out to YouTube Kids. [42]
A A-grade Also aid climbing grade. The technical difficulty grading system for aid climbing (both for "original" and an adapted version for "new wave"), which goes: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and up to A6 (for "new wave"). See C-grade. Abalakov thread Abalakov thread Also V-thread. A type of anchor used in abseiling especially in winter and in ice climbing. ABD Also assisted braking device. A term ...
A fracture will sometimes form a deep fissure or crevice in the rock. Fractures are commonly caused by stress exceeding the rock strength, causing the rock to lose cohesion along its weakest plane. [1] Fractures can provide permeability for fluid movement, such as water or hydrocarbons.
A common form of crevice failure occurs due to stress corrosion cracking, where a crack or cracks develop from the base of the crevice where the stress concentration is greatest. This was the root cause of the fall of the Silver Bridge over the Ohio River , in 1967 in West Virginia , where a single critical crack only about 3 mm long suddenly ...
