Plastic deformation of ice shelves in the region along the grounding line where they bend with the tide can dissipate enough tidal energy to make them the most important single source contribution to tidal friction (Doake, 1978). Some of the effects are to slow the rotation of the Earth and to cause the moon to retreat from the Earth.
