At depths of greater than 60 m,ice moves by plastic deformation.What causes this transition from brittle to ductile behavior?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At greater depths, the pressure on the ice increases, which allows for only minute deformation. This means that the ice is more likely to deform plastically rather than breaking (brittle behavior). The other answer choices do not accurately explain the transition from brittle to ductile behavior.
