Question

Two differences between bergschund and crevasses

Answer 1

First of all , both these words are nouns (a word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things ( common noun), or to name a particular one of these ( proper noun ) ).

Now the difference between them is very little that is:-

Bergshrund is that Crevasse is (literally) a crack or fissure in a glacier or snow field; a chasm while bergshrund is (geology) a large crack or crevasse in a glacier where the glacier is pulling away from the mountain

Answer 2

Answer:

A crevasse is a deep, wedge-shaped opening in a glacier or ice-sheet. Crevasses usually form in the top 50 m of a glacier, where the ice is brittle. Below that, a glacier is less brittle and can slide over uneven surfaces without cracking. The inflexible upper portion may split as it moves over the changing landscape.

While, Bergschrund is a crevasse usually formed where glaciers located in armchair like depressions - cirque, moves away from the head wall which may be the solid rock of a mountain slope or a stable glacier.
