Once . glacial ice exceeds a thickness of about 150 feet, the weight of the overlying ice causes . the . base of . the glacier . to become plastic and flow like a very viscous liquid. While the bottom ice responds as a plastic solid, the surface ice is very brittle. However, from the surface down to the top of the plastic portion of the glacier, the ice experiences a decrease in .
