sink-hole; sinkhole : Le terme «sink-hole» signifie tout trou, caverne ou cavité conique qui est formé par l'action de l'eau sur la terre, la pierre ou les strates sous-jacentes et qui forment fréquemment le lit d'un cours d'eau souterrain. En français, le terme à utiliser dépendra de la nature du «sink-hole». Lorsque l'on parle de «sink-hole» dans le domaine de la route, on utilisera «affaissement de chaussée». Dans le domaine de la géologie et de la géomorphologie, on utilisera les termes «doline», «aven», «ponor» et «gouffre absorbant» selon la nature du «sink-hole». 2, record 1, French, - sink%2Dhole

… the breccia is more likely an intraplatformal cavern collapse feature associated with early dolomitization because : 1) the clasts are surrounded with saddle dolomite and sulfide minerals, not basinal sediments as expected if the clasts were exposed on the seafloor following margin collapse; 2) the megabreccia includes varied dolostone clasts(some fabric-preserving, some not) but lacks clasts of abutting basinal rocks and so cannot be interpreted as a post-Middle Cambrian subsurface diagenetic feature; 3) despite the size of the contained clasts, the megabreccia shows a restricted lateral distribution, not the apron-like geometry of a debris flow deposit; and 4) the megabreccia is directly overlain by non-dolomitized basinal limestone. 3, record 5, English, - early%20dolomitization

Deux types de dolomitisation existent, la dolomitisation précoce et la dolomitisation tardive. La dolomitisation précoce se fait lors de la diagenèse du sédiment et s’effectue le plus souvent dans des mers chaudes à salinité élevée. La calcite se fait remplacer par la dolomite et celle-ci s’observe en lame mince par de fins rhomboèdres typiques. On la remarque également, car la dolomite laisse apparaître des fantômes de structures originelles, comme des grains oolithiques ou même des fragments de coquilles. 2, record 5, French, - dolomitisation%20pr%C3%A9coce

In the tunnel concept..., the prepackaged wastes are lowered down the shaft and brought to the emplacement vaults by rail. The packages are then unloaded by forklifts or other conventional container handling equipment and emplaced for permanent disposal.

1. Above ground-e. g. engineered mound. Wastes are placed in a man-made mound located primarily above the ground and covered with earth and synthetic cover materials to prevent water or burrowing animals from contacting the wastes. The completed mound is about 10 metres high. Stability is provided either by waste containers, with the voids between them filled with earth, or by compacting the bulk wastes.... 2. Shallow Burial--e. g. trench.... 3. Pervious Surround.--e. g. open pit.... 4. Intermediate Depth--e. g. mined cavern.
