Which outcome occurs within a glacial environment when differential stress exceeds ice strength along a pre-existing fault?

💡 Explanation

Crevasse formation will trigger accelerated glacial flow where fault-induced stress concentrates, reducing ice strength because stress overcomes the resistance; therefore, substantial deformation occurs, rather than gas-related phenomena happening within the ice.
