Drag forces at the ice-sheet bed and resistance of hard-rock obstacles: the physics of glacial ripping
Glacial ripping involves glaciotectonic disintegration of rock hills and extensive removal of rock at the ice-sheet bed, triggered by hydraulic jacking caused by fluctuating water pressures. Evidence from eastern Sweden shows that glacial ripping caused significant subglacial erosion during the fina...
