The spreading of a crack or fracture within a weak layer or slab. 2, record 2, English, - propagation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Propagation is the spread of a crack in a weak layer from an initial fracture location. A fracture can propagate at about the speed of sound, which makes it possible for huge slabs of snow to release from a mountainside instantaneously. The propagation potential of a particular slab and weak layer dictates how large an avalanche may become once triggered, and also determines if it's possible to trigger avalanches from flatter terrain connected to steeper slopes. 3, record 2, English, - propagation

Une nouvelle variété doit subir deux étapes essentielles entre le moment de son identification et celui où elle est adoptée par les producteurs : la décision prise, par le sélectionneur, selon laquelle le nouveau matériel génétique deviendra une variété avec un nom particulier et la multiplication de sa semence ou de son matériel végétatif, qui permettra sa commercialisation. [...] La multiplication assure la production rapide d'une quantité adéquate de semences de qualité. Ces deux processus sont soumis à une série complexe de contraintes officielles et légales [...]. 3, record 3, French, - multiplication
