The new study estimated the slide came from a volume of rock roughly 55 million cubic meters (1.9 billion cubic feet).

The slide happened in the form of two rock avalanches 95 minutes apart.

But internal features of the slide, exposed in outcrops, yielded evidence such as jigsaw puzzle rock fractures and shear zones, along with the pseudotachylytes.

Evidence showing that the slide was catastrophic — occurring within minutes — included the presence of pseudotachylytes, rocks that were melted into glass by the immense friction.

Scientists can therefore use lichens to date ancient rock slides and gauge the pace of retreating glaciers.

But having more melting at the front of the rock [then] at the back makes the friction at the front of the curling rock less than it is at the back and so you can understand this by looking at the drinking glass and the curling rock — lets take them both to be rotating clockwise, and lets look first at the drinking glass as it slides on a countertop.

Shegelski: Actually I don't know if I'd say that, but I'd say that it allowed us to investigate all possible motions that we could think of — within reason, of course, we can always do much more, — but for example, you can take a curling rock and simply rotate it and don't slide it and just have it go on a pure rotational motion, so we could look at that on flat ice as opposed to the pebbled ice.

Another possibility is that the main type of rock found at this depth, called olivine, goes through a mineral transformation because of the enormous pressures it is under, which then triggers sliding between different types of rock.
