crevasse

Northeast of the icefall, the glacier's surface is mostly smooth for several kilometers until a network of crevasses mark the surface.

Shallow crevasses can form during earthquake-induced landslides, lateral spreads, or other types of ground failures.

Shifting ice exposes new crevasses with little warning, making the Khumbu Icefall the most dangerous section of a southern Everest ascent.

Large numbers of deep crevasses are a sign that parts of the glacier are moving rapidly.

In other words, if the area is in a stretch zone then crevasses or sinkholes or dropping ground can occur.

But signs of stress are appearing in the form of cracks and crevasses, which show the stress the plates are under.

In 2001, Jakobshavn Glacier extends westward, showing typical features of a glacier, including flow stripes and crevasses.

Where they are joined to the land, immense cracks or crevasses can develop due to ocean tides and currents.

Shallow crevasses canform duringearthquake-induced landslides, lateral spreads, or other types of ground failures.

As the ice flows towards the coast, grating on bedrock, crevasses and new fractures form in the upper 100 feet of the ice sheet.

An immediate feature any visitor notices - aside from the sheer cliff and deep crevasses - is the constantly blowing wind.

And at some point you're going to have to cross these cracks in the ice, these crevasses.

The highlighted area shows a dense concentration of crevasses along one edge of the glacier.

Crevasses and cracks in the ice formed along the edges of one lake; I could see the crevasse fields in satellite images.

Long, sweeping flow lines are crossed in places by much shorter lines, which are deep cracks in the ice called crevasses.

But rock crevasses like these were their original home long before houses were invented.

The water pushes through its crevasses and tunnels at high pressure and the iceberg starts singing.

Just this past week, cracks and crevasses appeared in Peru, Pakistan, and the Philippines!

or a counter-biological weapons agent that expands to fill cracks and crevasses and kills microbes hiding there.

Greenery takes hold in crevasses and other spots on a denuded mountain in the Santa Lucia Range.

Splays are commonly formed by currents from crevasses in levees.

Fibrinogen and thrombin may concrete blood to jam the crevasses of blood vessels for avoiding excessive loss of blood.
