Best Answer

The upper layers of the bed materials are deformed by the frictional drag of the overlying ice. Unconsolidated material will act like a ball bearings and allow the glacier to move forward.

What is elastic deformation?

Elastic deformation is recoverable deformation. As such, when the load that caused the deformation is removed the material will return to it's original shape.


Which is not a form of rock deformation?

ductile deformation


What is cold plastic deformation?

it is deformation below recrystalization temperature.


What is anelastic deformation?

Anelastic deformation. Deformation processes where a material assumes its original shape after the load is removed, but with a time delay.


What is plastic deformation?

Plastic deformation is a permanent unrecoverable deformation. When the load that caused the deformation is removed, the material will not return to it's original shape but will maintain it's newly deformed shape.

How do you calculate permanent deformation?

Deformation is calculated by using deflecto meter.

What is a deformation and what causes it?

Deformation is a change in the shape and volume of a rock, deformation is produced when a rock experiences a stress that is greater than the strength of the rock.
