Yes, the bottom or downward tip of a crevasse typically marks the transition to the internal deformation and flowage zone within a glacier. Below this point, the ice experiences significant internal stress and deformation, allowing it to flow more plastically. This transition is critical for understanding glacier dynamics and the movement of ice.
