A quick or sharp movement from the glacier could cause the crevasse. Fast increases in temperature or the overall global warming can cause the glaciers to form crevasses as well. Also in some cases water flows can cause or deepen crevasses.
Crevasses are cracks that form in glaciers and can range from just a few inches across to over 40 feet (12 m.), and can be over 100 feet (30.5 m.) deep.
