Crevasse Formation is a mechanical process in glaciology whereby tensile stress within glacier ice exceeds its fracture strength, resulting in the initiation and propagation of open cracks or fissures on the surface of glaciers, distinguished from other deformation features by its mode-I fracture mechanism and direct association with strain-rate discontinuities in flowing ice masses.
