OBS

En langage minier, le mot anglais «creek» a été spécialisé pour désigner l'ensemble d'un cours d'eau et de ses alluvions. Le mot français crique, dont le sens général est le même que celui de «creek», c'est-à-dire petite anse, petite baie, est également employé pour désigner un «creek» minier.
