A crevasse is a large fissure, or crack, in something although it is usually applied to a glacier.
crevasses are formed by glaciers creating pressure on the land.
the near-surface ice behaves as a brittle solid.

A crevasse is a deep open crack in a glacier. It is formed when a magma chamber under a glacier causes melting and cracking and causes the glacier to slide into the ocean on the magma
Brittle ice breaks as the glacier crosses rough terrain
'Alpine' glaciers form.

yes they do and so do glaciers, hurricanes, tornadoes and many other things
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of abrasion. Intermediate earthquakes occur 70 to 300 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
Crevasses are formed due to tensile forces overcoming the cohesive strength of the ice. They form perpendicular to the principle stress. So depending on what is happening to the Glacier Ice, different types of crevasses can form. Chevron crevasses form from high friction with the valley sides. Transverse crevasses form from extending ice flows. And splaying crevasses form under compressive ice flows. Hope this helps!
Glaciers can form various landscape features, including U-shaped valleys, cirques, aretes, and moraines. These features are created as glaciers erode and deposit material as they flow over the land.
The stuff in your butt that's all crusty and icky.
crevasses are formed by glaciers creating pressure on the land.
When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.
Simply melt-water from the surrounding ice, or the surface of the glacier and reaching the cave through crevasses.

No. Neptune does not have a solid surface for glaciers to be on.
crevasses
No, it does not. For glaciers you need a solid surface, which Saturn does not have.
