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.
Depending on the environment developed in the crevice and the nature of the metal, the crevice corrosion can take a form of: pitting (i.e., formation of pits), but note pitting and crevice corrosion are not the same phenomenon, [8]
A crevice is a fracture or fissure in rock.. Crevice may also refer to: . Crevice corrosion, occurs in spaces to which the access of corrosion-resistant fluid is limited; Crevice kelpfish (Gibbonsia montereyensis), a species of subtropical clinid
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]
A crevasse in the Tangra Mountains, Antarctica. A crevasse, also called an ice fissure, is a deep linear crack in an ice sheet or glacier resulting from the opposing force produced by their movement at different rates of speed.
The concentric circles in this sandstone in Arizona are plumose (plume-like) structures that can form during the formation and propagation of a fracture. Fractures in rocks can be formed either due to compression or tension.
Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide.It is the gradual deterioration of materials (usually a metal) by chemical or electrochemical reaction with their environment.
