[L'incrustation] peut se produire sous un ruissellement superficiel, ou bien dans une eau calme, mais qui se renouvelle lentement ou rapidement; cette eau est dite «incrustante». L'élévation de température, la diminution de pression, la fonction chlorophyllienne des algues et la sursaturation par évaporation ou par gel sont autant de causes favorables aux incrustations de carbonate de calcium. 1, record 2, French, - incrustation

... encrustation is a phenomenon distinct from lateritic weathering. It consists of concretionary accumulation of iron and aluminum hydroxides in no matter what kind of permeable horizon. Lateritic profiles are frequently affected by iron encrustation, but this is a pedological phenomenon distinct from and secondary to lateritization. 1, record 3, English, - encrustation

[...] le cuirassement est un phénomène distinct de l'altération latéritique. Il consiste en une accumulation concrétionnée d'hydroxydes de fer et d'alumine dans un horizon perméable quel qu'il soit. Les profils latéritiques en sont fréquemment atteints, mais il s'agit d'un phénomène pédologique, distinct et second vis-à-vis de la latérisation. 1, record 3, French, - cuirassement
