Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Earth's outermost, rigid, rocky layer is called the crust. It is composed of low-density, easily melted rocks; the continental crust is predominantly granitic rock, while composition of the oceanic crust corresponds mainly to that of basalt and gabbro. Analyses of seismic waves, generated by earthquakes within Earth's interior, show that the crust extends about 50 km (30 miles) beneath the continents but only 5-10 km (3-6) miles beneath the ocean floors. 4, record 3, English, - Earth%27s%20crust
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In composition, the Earth is made of three nested spheres. At the center of the Earth, a body of intensely hot iron and nickel forms the core. A less dense and much larger middle sphere is made of materials rich in iron, magnesium and calcium comprises the mantle. The outermost layer is a thin veneer of lighter rocks called the crust. 5, record 3, English, - Earth%27s%20crust

At low temperatures (especially during clear weather) a temperature gradient appears in the snow, bringing about phenomena which render the snow or individual layers more fragile and loosen the bonds between crystals. The snow in these layers is called crusted snow, white frost or liquid snow. It can be recognised by its dryness, and on a slope it flows and looks like crystals of sugar. Layers of compressed snow lying on the fragile layer of white frost may tear off and trigger an avalanche. Dangerous layers of crusted snow are a very frequent phenomenon in cold winters with little snow. 4, record 6, English, - crusted%20snow

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Comme la surface du manteau au contact de l'air est le siège d'intenses transformations, une modification de la structure du manteau intervient sur les premiers centimètres de la couche superficielle et y entraîne une variation de la morphologie granulaire et des caractéristiques mécaniques : on assiste alors à la formation de croûtes ou de plaques dont l'origine est diverse. La distinction entre croûte et plaque réside dans leur épaisseur respective : on entend par croûte une couche superficielle durcie sur quelques centimètres (de 1 à 5 cm), dont la portance est faible, c'est-à-dire que la croûte casse sous le passage d'un skieur. La plaque désigne une couche durcie sur une épaisseur plus importante (plusieurs dizaines de centimètres) et donc généralement capable de supporter le poids d'un skieur. Les agents de formation sont le vent, le soleil, le gel et la pluie. 2, record 7, French, - cro%C3%BBte
