Unreferenced date April 2011 In Earthscience , the brittle ductile transition zone is a zone, at an approximate depth of convert 15 km mi abbr on 0 in continental crust , at which rock geology rock becomes less likely to fracture and more likely to deform ductilely. In glacial ice this zone is at approximately convert 30 m ft abbr on 1 depth. It is still possible for material above a brittle ductile transition zone to deform ductilely, and possible for material below to deform brittly. The zone exists because as depth increases confining pressure increases, and brittle strength increases with confining pressure whilst ductile strength decreases with increasing temperature. The transition zone occurs at the point where brittle strength exceeds ductile strength. Category Structure of the Earth Category Seismology and earthquake terminology geology stub ... more details
