Answer:

Increase in the intensity of pressure allows very less deformation

Explanation:

For the water the variation of pressure at any depth is directly proportional to the depth of the water above that level.

Thus, at depth greater than 60 m the intensity of pressure on ice is very high and therefore very little deformation is possible.

Hence, the transition from brittle to ductile behavior is observed.
